Ingredients

  • Skinless chicken breasts
  • Olive oil
  • Garlic powder
  • Smoked paprika
  • Dijon mustard
  • Heavy cream
  • Fresh garlic (minced)
  • Brussels sprouts
  • Potatoes
  • Butter

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Season skinless chicken breasts with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and let rest before slicing.
  2. Make the Sauce: In another pan, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Whisk in heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and cracked black pepper; simmer for 5-7 minutes until thickened.
  3. Roast the Brussels Sprouts: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet. Roast for about 20 minutes until crispy.
  4. Prepare Mashed Potatoes: Boil peeled potatoes until fork-tender; mash with butter, cream (or milk), salt, and pepper until smooth.
  5. Assemble the Bowl: Create a base of creamy mashed potatoes in serving bowls. Top with sliced chicken and drizzle with sauce. Serve alongside crispy Brussels sprouts.
