Ingredients
- 4 (6 oz each) chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1/2 tsp dried rosemary
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 3 tbsp butter
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 2 large potatoes
- 1 cup green beans
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Pat 4 chicken breasts (6 oz each) dry, then mix 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1 tsp dried thyme, 1/2 tsp dried rosemary, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper in a shallow dish. Dredge chicken in flour mixture, shaking off excess.
