Creamy Herb Chicken with Mashed Potatoes and Honey Glazed Carrots


  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x
  • Diet: None

Description

A cozy comfort food dish featuring creamy chicken, fluffy mashed potatoes, and sweet honey glazed carrots.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 chicken thighs
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons mixed herbs (thyme, rosemary, parsley)
  • 4 large potatoes
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cups baby carrots
  • 2 tablespoons honey

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Season the chicken thighs with salt, pepper, and mixed herbs. In a skillet over medium heat, brown the chicken on both sides for about 5 minutes per side.
  3. Pour the heavy cream over the chicken thighs and coat them well. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked, with a nice, creamy sauce bubbling around it.
  4. Peel and chop the potatoes. Boil them in salted water until tender—about 15-20 minutes. Once soft, drain the water and mash the potatoes with butter, salt, and pepper until creamy.
  5. Boil the baby carrots in a separate pot until tender. Drain them and toss in a skillet with honey. Cook over medium heat until caramelized and glazed, about 3-5 minutes.
  6. Serve the chicken alongside the mashed potatoes and honey glazed carrots, drizzling some of the creamy sauce over everything for added flavor.

Notes

Don’t overcrowd the pan when browning the chicken for best results.
