Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Creamy Chicken Dauphinoise.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
In a spacious pot, toss in your sliced potatoes and cover them generously with water.
Step 3
Bring this to a lively boil and let the potatoes simmer for about 4 minutes until they’re just tender.
Step 4
Drain the potatoes and set them aside, allowing them to cool slightly.
Step 5
In a shallow bowl, blend together flour, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper until well combined.
Step 6
Take each chicken breast and coat it thoroughly in the flour mixture, ensuring an even layer for that perfect crunch.
Step 7
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt the butter until it’s bubbling.
Step 8
Gently place the coated chicken breasts into the skillet, sprinkling 1 tablespoon of tarragon over them.
Step 9
Sear the chicken for 3 to 4 minutes on each side until they achieve a beautiful golden brown.
Step 10
Once done, remove the chicken from the heat.
Step 11
In a large baking dish, create a base with half of the cooked potatoes, spreading them out evenly.
Step 12
Nestle the browned chicken breasts on top, followed by the remaining potatoes, layering them with care.
Step 13
In a separate bowl, whisk together heavy cream, chopped garlic, the remaining 1 teaspoon of salt, and the remaining 1 teaspoon of pepper until smooth.
Step 14
Pour this creamy concoction over the layered potatoes and chicken, then finish with a sprinkle of the last tablespoon of tarragon.
Step 15
Slide the dish into your preheated oven and let it bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the top is irresistibly golden.
Step 16
An instant-read thermometer should register at least 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part of the chicken.
Step 17
Once out of the oven, allow the dish to rest for at least 10 minutes before serving, letting the flavors meld beautifully.
Step 18
Enjoy this comforting meal that’s sure to warm your heart and satisfy your taste buds.
