How to Make Creamy Mushroom Chicken with Crispy Herb Potatoes ✨

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to get it nice and hot.
2. In a large bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with olive oil, rosemary, oregano, salt, and pepper until well-coated. Spread them out on a baking sheet in a single layer.
3. Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until they are golden and crispy, tossing halfway through to ensure they cook evenly.
4. While the potatoes are roasting, season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
5. In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
6. Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Add dried thyme and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it thicken slightly.
7. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, coating it with the creamy mushroom sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.
8. Serve the creamy mushroom chicken over a bed of crispy herb potatoes, garnished with fresh parsley for that extra touch.

Substitutions & Additions

• Swap out chicken for turkey or even tofu for a vegetarian option.
• Use different mushrooms like cremini or shiitake for a unique flavor.
• Add spinach or kale to the sauce for some extra greens.

Tips for Success

• Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet with potatoes; this helps them get crispy!
• Make sure the skillet is hot enough before adding the chicken to get that nice sear.
• You can prep the potatoes ahead of time and store them in the fridge until you’re ready to cook.

How to Store Creamy Mushroom Chicken with Crispy Herb Potatoes ✨

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of chicken broth if needed to loosen the sauce.
