Ingredients
Scale
- 4 chicken thighs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon mixed herbs (thyme, rosemary, parsley)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 large potatoes
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 4 carrots
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season chicken thighs with salt, pepper, and mixed herbs. Sear thighs until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side.
- Reduce heat and add heavy cream to the skillet, simmering until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce thickens.
- Peel and chop potatoes. Boil in salted water until tender. Drain and mash with milk and butter until smooth.
- Slice the carrots and sauté in a separate pan with butter. Add honey and cook until caramelized.
- Serve the chicken hot with mashed potatoes and honey glazed carrots on the side.
Notes
For creamer mashed potatoes, use a potato ricer instead of a masher. Don’t overcrowd the skillet when searing the chicken.
