Ingredients

  • 4 Omaha Steaks Boneless Chicken Breasts, 5 oz., thawed
  • Large pinch kosher salt
  • Large pinch ground black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons dried thyme
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup chicken stock
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided into 2 tablespoons and 1 tablespoon
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 12 oz. frenched green beans, blanched
  • 1 lb. Yukon gold potatoes, about 8 medium-sized potatoes, boiled whole about 8 minutes, cooled to room temperature, then cut into wedges
  • 5 garlic cloves, sliced thinly
  • 1 medium shallot, minced
  • 2 tablespoons Italian parsley, chopped

Instructions

  • Remove fully thawed chicken breasts from the refrigerator and bring to room temperature, about 20 minutes. Pat dry on all sides with paper towels.
  • Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, dried thyme, and garlic powder.
  • In a large cast-iron pan, add 2 tablespoons olive oil and bring to medium-high heat.
  • Sear chicken in pan until lightly golden brown, then flip and sear again, about 3 minutes on each side.
  • Remove chicken from pan and place on a plate. Add remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to pan and sear boiled potato wedges and green beans on both sides until browned, about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  • Remove potatoes and green beans from pan and set aside. Add butter, shallots, and garlic to pan and sauté for 20 to 30 seconds, or until fragrant and tender.
  • Add chicken stock and wine to pan, bring to a boil, and reduce by 1/3 in volume, about 3 minutes.
  • Add heavy cream to pan, bring to a boil, then add chicken breasts back into the pan. Reduce to a medium simmer, continuously basting the chicken with sauce and reducing until it thickens, about 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Once sauce has thickened, add potatoes and green beans, and baste vegetables until heated throughout and fully coated in sauce. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
  • Garnish with chopped parsley. Serve creamy chicken skillet family-style in the cast-iron pan.
