Savory Chicken with Mushrooms and Potatoes

 

INGREDIENTS

• Chicken: 4 boneless chicken breasts, providing lean protein and a satisfying main element.
• Olive Oil: 2 tablespoons of olive oil to sear the chicken, adding a subtle, healthy fat.
• Butter: 1 tablespoon of butter for a richer flavor.
• Mushrooms: Fresh mushrooms that add an earthy depth to the dish.
• Baby Potatoes: Bite-sized potatoes that absorb all the flavors from the sauce.

PREPARATION

1. Searing the Chicken: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, and sear them until golden brown on both sides. This step helps to lock in the juices and creates a flavorful crust.
2. Cooking the Vegetables: Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add the butter and sauté the mushrooms and potatoes until they start to soften and caramelize.
3. Combining Ingredients: Return the chicken to the skillet. Add a splash of chicken broth or water to create a light sauce that will coat the chicken and vegetables as they finish cooking.
4. Simmering: Cover the skillet and let everything simmer until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender.
5. Garnishing: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and a hint of freshness.
