- 2 teaspoons Italian blend seasoning
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ pound baby potatoes - halved or quartered as needed (they should be no large than 1 inch pieces)

- FOR THE DIJON CREAM SAUCE
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- (1 cup) Chicken Stock
- 2 tablespoons dijon mustard

- In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Drizzle in 1 tablespoon olive oil and give it a good stir.
- Add chicken to one half of the pan, potatoes to the other half. Cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes, flip chicken and cook another 3-4 minutes until browned on both sides. Transfer chicken and potatoes to a plate and cover to keep warm.
Prepare the sauce
- In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in garlic for 1 minute til fragrant.
- Stir in chicken broth and dijon mustard, then whisk in heavy cream, salt and pepper.
Put it together
- Return chicken and potatoes to the pan, giving them a good toss in the sauce to keep them from drying out in the oven.
- Transfer to preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until chicken is cooked through and potatoes are fork-tender.
- Spoon dijon sauce from the pan over the chicken and potatoes, garnish with freshly cracked black pepper and fresh herbs if desired, and serve.
NOTE:
This recipe can easily be doubled, simply follow directions as written but arrange browned chicken and potatoes on a rimmed sheet pan and pour sauce over chicken and potatoes before baking.
