General Ingredients

1 tsp Celtic sea salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

2 tbs olive oil

Chicken

2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1/2 cup 00 bread flour

Maple Dijon Sauce

3 tbs Maple syrup

2 tbs Dijon mustard

1/4 cup Chicken broth

1 tbs Butter

Mashed Potatoes

3 cups Russet potatoes, peeled and cubed

2 tbs Butter

1/2 cup Milk

Roasted Vegetables

1 cup Carrots, peeled and chopped

1 cup Zucchini, sliced

1 cup Red bell pepper, sliced

1 tbs olive oil

Method

Prepare the Mashed Potatoes

Peel and Boil Potatoes

Peel 4–5 medium-sized russet potatoes and cut them into chunks. Place them in a large pot, cover with cold water, and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook for 15–20 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

Mash the Potatoes

Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add 2 tablespoons of butter, 1/2 cup of warm milk, salt, and pepper to taste. Mash until smooth and creamy. Cover and set aside to keep warm.

Prepare and Roast Vegetables

Chop and Season Vegetables

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Chop a mix of root vegetables, such as carrots, parsnips, and broccoli florets, into bite-size pieces. Toss them with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, pepper, and 1 teaspoon of dried thyme.

Roast Vegetables

Spread vegetables on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 25–30 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden brown and tender.

Prepare the Chicken

Bread the Chicken

Take 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts and pound them to an even thickness. Season both sides with salt and pepper. Lightly dredge each piece in flour, shaking off the excess.

Sear the Chicken

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown.

Finish in the Oven

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven (425°F / 220°C) and bake for 8–10 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Remove from oven and let rest for a few minutes.

Make the Maple Dijon Sauce

Prepare the Sauce Base

In a small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup Dijon mustard, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard, and 1/4 cup chicken broth or cream.

Simmer the Sauce

Place saucepan over medium heat and whisk until well combined. Let simmer for 5 minutes until slightly thickened. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.

Assemble and Serve

Plate the Dish

Spoon a serving of mashed potatoes onto each plate, followed by a scoop of roasted vegetables. Slice the rested chicken breasts and place them on top of or alongside the potatoes.

Add Sauce and Garnish

Drizzle the warm maple Dijon sauce over the chicken. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley if desired. Serve hot.
