Print Recipe

A comforting dish of juicy chicken thighs smothered in a creamy herb sauce, served with fluffy mashed potatoes and vibrant honey glazed carrots.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 Chicken Thighs
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream
  • 2–3 cloves Garlic, minced
  • Fresh Herbs (thyme, rosemary, parsley)
  • 2 lbs Yukon Gold Potatoes, chopped
  • 4 tablespoons Butter
  • 1/2 cup Milk
  • 2 cups Fresh Carrots, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons Honey
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper on both sides.
  2. Melt a tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the chicken thighs, skin-side down, and sear until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Flip and cook for another 5 minutes, then set aside.
  5. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  6. Pour in the cream and stir, scraping up the brown bits.
  7. Add fresh herbs and let simmer for about 5 minutes.
  8. Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning sauce over it, and cover.
  9. Let it simmer for 15-20 minutes on low heat.
  10. Peel and chop the potatoes, cover with cold water, and add salt. Bring to a boil and cook until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  11. Drain the potatoes, add butter and milk, and mash until smooth.
  12. In a separate pan, melt a tablespoon of butter and sauté carrots for about 5 minutes.
  13. Drizzle in honey and cook for another 5 minutes until tender.
  14. Plate the mashed potatoes, top with chicken and sauce, and add glazed carrots.
