– 1 cup chicken broth
– 2 teaspoons dried thyme
– 2 teaspoons dried oregano
– 3 cloves garlic, minced

For the Honey Glazed Carrots:

Instructions

Creating Creamy Herb Chicken with Mashed Potatoes & Honey Glazed Carrots is simple if you follow these steps:

Prepare the Creamy Herb Chicken

1. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
2. Cook Chicken: Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Add them to the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
3. Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute. Pour in chicken broth and bring to a simmer.
4. Add Cream and Herbs: Stir in heavy cream, thyme, and oregano. Let the sauce simmer for about 5 minutes until it thickens slightly.
5. Return Chicken: Add the cooked chicken back to the skillet, coating it well with the creamy sauce. Allow it to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to warm through.

Prepare the Mashed Potatoes

6. Boil Potatoes: In a large pot, add the cubed potatoes and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
7. Drain and Mash: Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add butter, milk, salt, and pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.

Prepare the Honey Glazed Carrots

8. Cook Carrots: In a separate saucepan, add baby carrots and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook for about 5 minutes until just tender.
9. Glaze Carrots: Drain the carrots and return them to the pan. Add honey, butter, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat and cook over low heat for an additional 2-3 minutes.

Serve the Dish

10. Plate the Meal: Serve a generous scoop of mashed potatoes, topped with the creamy herb chicken, and arrange the honey-glazed carrots on the side.
11. Garnish: Sprinkle fresh parsley over the chicken and dill over the carrots for an added touch of flavor and color.
