Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup milk
- 12 ounces green beans
- 3 cloves garlic cloves
- 8 ounces button mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown, then transfer the skillet to the oven to bake for 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
While the chicken cooks, peel and dice the potatoes into small chunks. Place them in a large pot, cover with water, and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook for 15-20 minutes or until tender.
Drain the potatoes and mash them with 4 tablespoons of butter and milk. Add salt and pepper to taste. Set aside and keep warm.
Trim the ends of the green beans and mince the garlic cloves. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the green beans and garlic, sautéing for 5-7 minutes until tender-crisp. Set aside.
Slice the button mushrooms thinly. In a small saucepan, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to create a roux.
Slowly whisk in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Add the heavy cream and mushrooms, cooking for 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Once the chicken is done, let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Plate each dish with a scoop of mashed potatoes, green beans, and a chicken breast. Top the chicken and potatoes with mushroom gravy, and serve immediately.
