White Wine Dijon Chicken + Sweet Potatoes
This healthy, quick, easy, minimal, tasty, (quick, give me another adjective), one-pan meal inspired by French cooking and flavors will be a household hit.
Ingredients
Chicken
- 3 chicken breasts
- salt, pepper, thyme, oregano, parsley
Sweet Potatoes
- 2 sweet potatoes
- 1 T olive oil
- salt, pepper, rosemary
- 1 T butter
- 1 T olive oil
Sauce
- 1 T butter
- 2 clobes garlic minced
- ½ cup chicken broth
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ½ cup white wine
- salt, pepper, parsely, thyme
Instructions
- Season your chicken breasts with the salt, pepper, thyme, oregano, and parsely. I didn't put the exact measurements so that you can season to your own taste! I usually just sprinkle a light coat over each side.
- Peel and dice your sweet potatoes. In a bowl, combine the diced sweet potatoes, olive oil, salt, pepper, and rosemary.
- In a large pan, I usually use a cast iron, melt the butter and add the olive oil over medium heat. Place the chicken breasts and sweet potatoes in the pan.
- Cook the chicken 5 minutes on each side. Every so often, stir the sweet potatoes a little.
- Once the chicken and sweet potatoes are done cooking, take them out of the pan and set them aside.
- In the same pan over medium heat, add the butter, garlic, chicken broth, and heavy cream and combine. Let it cook for 1-2 minutes.
- Add the white wine and let it cook off for about 5 minutes.
- Add the salt, pepper, parsley, and thyme and mix.
- Add the chicken and sweet potatoes back into the pan, making sure everything is coated in the sauce. Let it cook in the sauce for an additional 1-2 minutes.
