- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup milk or cream

Instructions
- Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for about 6 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in Dijon mustard, heavy cream, and chicken broth until well combined to create the sauce.
