Cooking Steps
-
Adjust rack to top position (top and middle positions for 4 servings) and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce.
-
Trim, peel, and cut carrots on a diagonal into ½-inch-thick pieces. Trim and halve zucchini lengthwise; slice crosswise on a diagonal into ½-inch-thick half-moons.
-
Toss carrots and zucchini on a baking sheet with a large drizzle of oil, half the garlic powder, half the thyme, salt, and pepper (for 4 servings, spread carrots out across entire sheet; use a second sheet for zucchini). (You’ll use the remaining garlic powder and thyme in Step 5.)
-
Roast on top rack, tossing halfway through, until browned and tender, 20-25 minutes. (For 4, roast on top and middle racks, swapping rack positions halfway through.)
-
While veggies roast, pat chicken* dry with paper towels and season all over with salt and pepper.
-
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add chicken; cook until browned and cooked through, 6-8 minutes per side. TIP: Lower heat and cover pan if chicken begins to brown too quickly.
-
Turn off heat; transfer to a cutting board. Wipe out pan.
-
Meanwhile, trim and thinly slice mushrooms (skip if your mushrooms are pre-sliced!).
-
In a small bowl, whisk together mustard, sour cream, stock concentrate, ¼ cup water, and 1 tsp vinegar (⅓ cup water and 2 tsp vinegar for 4 servings). (Be sure to measure the vinegar; we sent more.) Set aside.
-
Heat a drizzle of oil in pan used for chicken over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and remaining thyme; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 2-4 minutes. Add remaining garlic powder and stir to coat.
-
Add mustard mixture and 2 TBSP butter (4 TBSP for 4 servings). Cook, stirring constantly, until butter has melted and sauce is thoroughly combined.
-
Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes more. TIP: If sauce is too thick, add a splash or two of water and bring to a boil; stir until smooth and slightly thickened.
-
Turn off heat and season with salt and pepper.
-
Thinly slice chicken crosswise.
-
Divide chicken and veggies between plates. Spoon mushroom sauce over chicken and serve.

Review summary
Updated on Dec 2025- Flavor: Many loved the creamy mushroom sauce, though some found the mustard or vinegar overpowering. Adjust to taste 🍲.
- Ease of prep: Quick and simple to prepare, though a few found the cooking times needed adjustment for perfect results.
- Suggestions: Consider adding rice, couscous, or potatoes for a heartier meal. Reduce zucchini cooking time to prevent mushiness.
- Portions: Some wanted more vegetables; try adding extra mushrooms or a second zucchini for a veggie boost.
- Sauce: For a smoother sauce, lower the heat when combining ingredients and add a splash of cream if desired.
