Ingredients
Scale
- 4 chicken thighs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons mixed herbs (thyme, rosemary, parsley)
- 2 large carrots, chopped
- 2 cups mashed potatoes
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
- Season the chicken thighs generously with salt and pepper. Add them to the skillet and cook until browned and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes on each side.
- Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside on a plate, allowing the juices to rest.
- In the same skillet, add the chopped carrots. Cook until they soften and take on a bit of color, roughly 5 minutes.
- Stir in the heavy cream and mixed herbs, allowing the mixture to come together. Return the chicken to the skillet and let it simmer for a few minutes until the sauce thickens, coating each piece of chicken.
- Spoon the creamy herb sauce over the chicken and serve alongside fluffy mashed potatoes for the ultimate comfort meal.
Notes
Pair with crisp green beans or a fresh salad with lemon vinaigrette. A glass of Chardonnay complements the dish perfectly.
