Saucy Chicken with Green Beans and Roasted Potatoes


Hi friends! I've been testing out a couple of different recipes this week and wanted to share them with you; one at a time of course. Each meal has been extremely delicious and will be a huge crowd-pleaser, for sure! Let’s start off with a recipe for this Saucy Chicken with Green Beans and Roasted Potatoes.

This dish features one of the finest, most crowd-pleasing aspects of dinner: sauce! I don’t know about you but I LOVE sauce. It really gives you the opportunity to add so many flavors to your meal without having to put in much effort. The sauce used in today’s dish is packed with flavor from Dill and Dijon Mustard. Tie that in with delicious chicken, green beans, and roasted potatoes and you have yourself a delightful combination of flavors that your taste buds will not refuse.

Let’s get started! 

Generously serves a family of 4
Ingredients
  • Small Bundle of Fresh Dill
  • 4 Chicken Breasts
  • 12 Small Yukon Gold Potatoes
  • 12oz Fresh Green Beans
  • 4 Tbsp Sour Cream
  • 2 Tsp Chicken Stock Concentrate
  • 2 Tsp Dijon Mustard
  • Olive Oil
  • Salt and Pepper
Directions
  1. Wash and dry the green beans and potatoes and preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
  2. Pick the fronds from the fresh dill and discard the stems. Finely chop the fronds and set aside.
  3. Cut the potatoes into 1/2 in cubes and place on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place in the oven for 23 minutes or until the potatoes are tender and golden in color. Make sure to stir them around halfway through to avoid burning.
  4. While the potatoes are cooking in the oven, heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts, on both sides, with salt and pepper. Add to the large pan and cook for about 5 minutes per side, or until the chicken is no longer pink on the inside. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside to rest on a cutting board when cooking is complete. 
  5. While the chicken is cooking, add the green beans to another baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss the green beans in the olive oil until evenly coated and roast in the oven for 11 minutes or until tender.
  6. Using the same pan you cooked the chicken in (make sure it is off the burner), add 1 tsp of dill, 4 tbsp of sour cream, 2 tsp of chicken stock concentrate, 2 tsp Dijon mustard, and 2 tbsp of water. Stir until combined, making sure to scrape any browned chicken bits from the pan. Season the sauce with salt and pepper to complete. 
    • If the sauce seems too thick, you can add more water to it- 1 tsp at a time. You want it to be thin and light. Similar to a drizzle consistency. 
  7. By now, the potatoes and green beans should be done and the chicken has had time to rest. Begin thinly slicing the chicken.
  8. Add the chicken, green beans, and roasted potatoes to each dish and drizzle the creamy sauce over the chicken. Add a little bit of extra dill on top of the sauce as a garnish.
You're all done.
Enjoy!

Valentine Paper Heart Door Decorations

Here is a great way to show love to your children for the month of February. I started doing this last year for my son and he enjoyed every minute of it. He liked it so much that every day he would be excited to see what I had written down. What am I talking about? Well, let me tell you... Valentine's Paper Heart Door Decorations! All I did was cut out these cute red, pink, white, etc. paper hearts and wrote down one thing that I love about my son. Then each day I would tape one paper heart to his bedroom door for him to see. By Valentine's Day, he had 14 of these awesome hearts on his door showing him some of the things that I love about him. Since my daughter is a little bit older this year, she's only one- haha, I thought about doing this for her as well. This way, both of them can be excited about seeing some of the things I love about them the most. All you need to do is find colored construction paper and cut out 14 hearts- one heart for each day of February un...

Gray Shirt with Black Leggings

There is nothing more comfortable than wearing a loose shirt with leggings. Am I right? I always struggle deciding if I want to wear something casual or a little more dressed up. Yes, it's easier to wear more casual outfits than outfits that are dressy, but I love comfy clothes more. Who doesn't? Now, don't get me wrong, I love experimenting with dressy outfits too. You'll see some of those soon enough. This week, however, I'm going with an outfit that is easy, but SO cute. So here it is, my Sunday Comfy Casual Outfit. I just got this gray shirt from Kohls last weekend and I love it! It has a loose fit so it is very comfortable. You can find it  here . The black leggings are one of my favorites. They are the softest leggings I've ever purchased! I highly recommend getting a pair. You will LOVE them too! You can find them at Maurices   here .
