Ingredients

• 4 pieces chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 large russet potatoes
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup milk
• 12 ounces green beans
• 3 cloves garlic cloves
• 8 ounces button mushrooms
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 0.25 cup heavy cream

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown, then transfer the skillet to the oven to bake for 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 4

While the chicken cooks, peel and dice the potatoes into small chunks. Place them in a large pot, cover with water, and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook for 15-20 minutes or until tender.

Step 5

Drain the potatoes and mash them with 4 tablespoons of butter and milk. Add salt and pepper to taste. Set aside and keep warm.

Step 6

Trim the ends of the green beans and mince the garlic cloves. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the green beans and garlic, sautéing for 5-7 minutes until tender-crisp. Set aside.

Step 7

Slice the button mushrooms thinly. In a small saucepan, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to create a roux.

Step 8

Slowly whisk in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Add the heavy cream and mushrooms, cooking for 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens.

Step 9

Once the chicken is done, let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Plate each dish with a scoop of mashed potatoes, green beans, and a chicken breast. Top the chicken and potatoes with mushroom gravy, and serve immediately.
