Pan-seared chicken is sliced and draped in a creamy Dijon sauce made with a rich stock concentrate for a German-inspired dinner. Rosemary-roasted potatoes and caramelized carrots round out the plate, with a spoonful of the tangy, velvety sauce over the potatoes tying everything together.

Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.

Cooking Steps

Start Prep
1
  • Adjust racks to top and middle positions and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce.

  • Trim, peel, and cut carrots on a diagonal into ½-inch-thick pieces. Dice potatoes into ½-inch pieces. Finely chop half the rosemary (all for 4 servings).

Roast Veggies
2
  • Toss carrots on one side of a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper.

  • Toss potatoes on empty side of sheet with a large drizzle of oil, chopped rosemary, a pinch of salt, and pepper.

  • Roast on top rack until browned and tender, 20-25 minutes.

Cook Chicken
3
  • Meanwhile, 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-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, 3-5 minutes per side. Turn off heat; transfer chicken to a cutting board to rest. Wipe out pan.

Finish Prep
4
  • Meanwhile, roughly chop parsley.

Make Sauce
5
  • Once veggies and chicken are done roasting, combine cream sauce base, mustard, stock concentrate, 2 TBSP water (4 TBSP for 4 servings), and pepper in pan used for chicken over medium-high heat.

  • Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook, whisking constantly, until slightly reduced, 30-60 seconds. TIP: If sauce is too thick, add water 1 tsp at a time until sauce reaches desired consistency.

Finish & Serve
6
  • Slice chicken crosswise.

  • Divide chicken, potatoes, and carrots between plates in separate sections. Spoon sauce over chicken and potatoes and sprinkle with parsley. Serve.

This was pretty good. Would have liked additional flavor on the potatoes besides rosemary, and additional flavor on the meat besides mustard. Would be great to have a recipe for shoop noodles, a delicious and hearty German dish my grandmother used to make!

We feel the vegetable portions are too small. In this meal, specifically, the carrots. There were enough potatoes, but we would have liked more carrots. The dijon sauce was delicious.

Good meal, I felt the sauce was lacking a little and the potatoes and carrots were underdone by the time the chicken was done and rested.
