* 4 cloves garlic, minced
* 1 cup heavy cream
* ½ cup chicken broth
* 1 tsp Dijon mustard
* 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves (or ½ tsp dried)

Instructions:
1. **Prep the potatoes:**
* Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
* Toss the halved baby potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
* Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and tender.
2. **Cook the chicken:**
* Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and paprika.
* Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
* Sear chicken 4–5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temp 165°F / 74°C). Remove chicken and set aside.
3. **Make the creamy herb sauce:**
* In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium. Add butter and sauté garlic until fragrant (30 seconds).
* Stir in chicken broth and Dijon mustard, scraping up browned bits from the pan.
* Add heavy cream, thyme, and rosemary. Simmer for 3–4 minutes until slightly thickened.
* Return chicken to the skillet, spoon sauce over, and cook 2–3 minutes more to coat.
4. **Serve:**
* Plate the roasted golden baby potatoes alongside the creamy herb chicken.
* Spoon extra sauce over chicken and garnish with fresh parsley.

✅ **Tips:**
* For extra flavor, roast the potatoes with a splash of lemon juice or a sprinkle of Parmesan.
* You can add a handful of spinach or green beans to the skillet during the last few minutes for a one-pan veggie boost.

If you want, I can also make a **one-pan version** that cooks the chicken and potatoes together in the creamy herb sauce—super easy for minimal cleanup. Do you want me to do that?
