Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large chicken breasts
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt & pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • Fresh parsley for garnish
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp flour
  • 200 ml milk
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 cup long grain white rice
  • 2 cups water
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp olive oil or butter
  • 300g yellow potatoes, cubed
  • 150g mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • Salt, pepper & fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Prepare the rice by rinsing it under cold water. In a saucepan, combine the rinsed rice with water, salt, and olive oil. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Let it sit covered for another 5 minutes before fluffing.
  2. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Toss cubed potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
  3. In a skillet over medium heat, sauté sliced mushrooms with minced garlic in olive oil for about 5-6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Grill seasoned chicken breasts on medium-high heat for about 5-6 minutes per side until fully cooked.
  5. For the creamy herb sauce, melt butter in a saucepan, stir in flour, then gradually whisk in milk along with Dijon mustard and fresh parsley. Simmer until thickened.
  6. Serve by plating rice with grilled chicken on top, accompanied by roasted potatoes and sautéed mushrooms. Drizzle generously with herb sauce.
