Ingredients

• 500 g chicken breasts, cubed

• 500 g potatoes, cut into pieces

• 1 tsp salt

• 1 tsp black pepper

• 20 g butter

• 1 tbsp olive oil

• 1 tbsp strong mustard

• 20 cl liquid cream

• 1 small bunch fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

1. Cook the potatoes.
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the potato chunks and simmer for about 10 minutes, just until tender. Drain them well and set aside — they’ll finish cooking in the sauce later.

2. Sear the chicken.
In a large skillet, melt the butter with the olive oil. Add the cubed chicken, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and let it brown on all sides. You want a light golden crust — that’s where the flavor builds.

3. Stir in the mustard.
Add the mustard to the pan and toss the chicken so every piece gets a glossy, flavorful coating. The smell at this point is irresistible.

4. Add the cream.
Pour in the liquid cream and stir gently. Let the sauce simmer for about 5 minutes, thickening slightly into a silky, rich coating for the chicken.

5. Add the potatoes.
Fold in the cooked potatoes and let everything simmer together for another 5 minutes. This helps the potatoes soak up that creamy mustard goodness.

6. Finish with fresh herbs.
Right before serving, sprinkle in the chopped parsley. It adds a burst of freshness that makes the dish come alive.

Presentation Tips

• Serve the dish in a wide, shallow bowl to showcase the creaminess.

• Add a final drizzle of cream or a tiny extra spoon of mustard on top for a rustic, bistro-style look.

• A sprinkle of fresh parsley or chives adds instant color and charm.

• Pair with crusty bread — you’ll definitely want something to swipe through that sauce.

Little Helpful Extras

💡 Make it easier:
Cut your potatoes into evenly sized pieces so they cook perfectly at the same pace.

🔄 Ingredient swap:
If strong mustard feels too bold, old-fashioned mustard adds a gentler tang and tiny mustard seeds for texture.

🔥 Cooking tip:
Covering the skillet in the last 5 minutes traps steam, keeping the chicken juicy and tender.

Conclusion

Creamy Chicken Mustard & Potatoes is one of those comforting dishes that never disappoints. It’s cozy, filling, and full of flavor — a creamy, herby, mustard-kissed bowl of goodness that comes together with little fuss.
