Creamy Chicken with Mushroom Sauce, Roasted Potatoes, and Fresh Salad

Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 200g mushrooms, sliced
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh thyme leaves for garnish

For the Roasted Potatoes:

• 500g baby potatoes, halved
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh rosemary for garnish

For the Salad:

• Mixed salad greens (lettuce, spinach, arugula, etc.)
• Cherry tomatoes, halved
• Cucumber, sliced
• Red onion, thinly sliced
• Balsamic vinaigrette dressing

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

2. Prepare the Chicken:

   • Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
   • In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 5-6 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

3. Make the Mushroom Cream Sauce:

   • In the same skillet, add a bit more olive oil if needed. Sauté the onions and garlic until translucent.
   • Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they are golden and tender.
   • Pour in the heavy cream and stir to combine. Let it simmer for a few minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
   • Season the sauce with salt, pepper, and fresh thyme leaves.

4. Roast the Potatoes:

   • Toss the halved baby potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet.
   • Roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until golden and crispy. Sprinkle fresh rosemary over the roasted potatoes before serving.

5. Assemble the Salad:

   • In a large bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, and red onion.
   • Drizzle with balsamic vinaigrette dressing and toss gently to coat.

6. Serve:

   • Place a chicken breast on each plate and generously spoon the mushroom cream sauce over it.
   • Serve with a portion of roasted potatoes and a side of fresh salad.
