Categories: Meals

Ingredients

  • 12 oz. Yukon Potato
  • 1 Shallot
  • 6 Chives
  • 10 oz. Carrot
  • 2 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
  • 5 fl. oz. Heavy Whipping Cream
  • 1 oz. Grated Parmesan Cheese
  • 2 tsp. Chicken Demi-Glace
  • 0.9 oz. Butter
  • 1/2 oz. Light Brown Sugar

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Thoroughly rinse produce and pat dry. Prepare a small casserole dish with cooking spray.

  2. Slice potato into thin rounds. Bring a medium pot with potato slices and enough lightly salted water to cover to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until softened, 10-12 minutes. While potatoes cook, peel and mince shallot. Mince chives. Peel, trim, and cut carrot into ¼" pieces on an angle. Pat chicken breasts dry, and season both sides with a pinch of salt and pepper.

  3. Strain softened potato slices in a colander and return to pot. Add cream, half the shallots (reserve remaining for sauce), half the chives (reserve remaining for garnish), half the Parmesan, ¾ tsp. salt, and ¼ tsp. pepper to pot and stir gently.

  4. Transfer potatoes to prepared casserole dish or a small oven-safe pan. Top with remaining Parmesan and bake until cheese browns, 15-18 minutes. Rinse pot and reserve. While potatoes cook, cook chicken.

  5. Heat 1 tsp. olive oil in a medium pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken to hot pan and sear until well-browned, 5 minutes on each side. Add ¾ cup water, demi-glace, and remaining shallots and bring sauce to a gentle simmer. Continue cooking, flipping occasionally, until chicken reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 3-4 minutes. Remove chicken to a plate. Continue cooking sauce until reduced enough to draw a spoon through, 1-2 minutes. Remove from burner and swirl in half the butter. Set aside.

  6. Return pot used to cook potatoes to medium heat. Add ½ cup water, carrots, brown sugar, remaining butter, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook 6 minutes. Remove cover, raise heat to medium-high, and cook, stirring often, until carrots are tender and glazed, 6-8 minutes. Remove from burner.

  7. Spoon a serving of dauphinoise potatoes onto a plate and serve Vichy carrots next to them. Lean chicken against potatoes and spoon sauce in front. Garnish potatoes with remaining chives.
