One Pot Chicken and Potatoes Recipe

If you are looking for a great Sunday night dinner idea then you cannot go wrong with my One Pot Chicken and Potatoes recipe.

This dish feeds a crowd and always gets rave reviews at our house, especially with our picky eaters!

It works really well when made in a braiser because it can go from cooktop, to oven, to table!

The preparation is also really simple.  You’ll season your chicken breasts with salt, pepper and Herbs de Provence.

Then sear your chicken breasts on both sides.  You may need to do this in batches.

Cook your potatoes quickly, in the remaining chicken fat.  This gives them a head start before they hit the oven, and saves you the step of washing out the pan!

Add a little flour in the pan to create a roux.

Then add your sauce and thicken, season with garlic and thyme…

Place your potatoes back in the pan, add the chicken cover and bake!
