Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound chicken thigh (boneless, skinless)
0.5 teaspoon salt
0.25 teaspoon black pepper
0.5 cup chicken broth
0.25 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon fresh chives (chopped)
1 pound creamer potato (small, halved or quartered)
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary (chopped)
4 ounce baby carrot
1 teaspoon brown sugar

Instructions

Season chicken thighs with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and sear for 6-8 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken and set aside.
While chicken cooks, place halved creamer potatoes in a microwave-safe bowl with 2 tablespoons water. Cover and microwave on high for 5-7 minutes, until fork-tender. Drain, then toss with 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary and a pinch of salt.
In the same skillet, add chicken broth, heavy cream, and Dijon mustard. Bring to a simmer, whisking constantly. Cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened. Stir in fresh chives.
Return chicken to the skillet, coating it in the sauce.
In a separate small pan, steam or sauté baby carrots until tender-crisp (about 3-4 minutes). Toss with brown sugar until lightly glazed.
Serve creamy Dijon chicken with herbed potatoes and glazed carrots.

Notes

For even quicker potatoes, use pre-cooked refrigerated mashed potatoes and simply warm them. If using fresh rosemary, crush it slightly to release more flavor.
