Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken breasts
• 2 cups Baby potatoes
• 2 cups Carrots
• 1 cup Green beans
• 4 tablespoons Butter
• 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 2 cups Chicken broth
• 1 cup Half-and-half
• 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 2

Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried thyme.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sear the chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to form a roux.

Step 5

Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and half-and-half, cooking until the mixture thickens into a creamy sauce. Remove from heat and stir in shredded cheddar cheese until melted and smooth.

Step 6

Layer the baby potatoes, carrots, and green beans in the prepared baking dish. Pour half of the creamy sauce over the vegetables and stir gently to coat.

Step 7

Place the seared chicken breasts on top of the vegetables and pour the remaining sauce over the chicken.

Step 8

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 15 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F) and the vegetables are tender.

Step 9

Let the dish rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
