Kip met Mosterdsaus en Aardappelpuree - Netherlands traditional dish

🧂 Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless Chicken breasts
  • 1 kg Potatoes(starchy variety, peeled and quartered)
  • 50 g Butter
  • 100 ml Milk(warmed)
  • 3 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 150 ml Heavy cream
  • 100 ml Chicken broth
  • 1 tbsp Flour
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 0.5 tsp Black pepper
  • 2 tbsp Parsley(fresh, chopped, for garnish)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. 1

    Place potatoes in a pot, cover with cold water, and add salt. Bring to a boil and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until tender.

    ⏱️ 20 minutes
  2. 2

    While potatoes cook, season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Pan-fry in a little oil or butter over medium-high heat for 6-8 minutes per side, until cooked through. Set aside and keep warm.

    ⏱️ 16 minutes
    💡 Tip: Ensure chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 74°C (165°F).
  3. 3

    In the same pan (drain excess fat if necessary), melt 1 tbsp of butter. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute to form a roux.

    ⏱️ 1 minute
  4. 4

    Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens.

    💡 Tip: Whisking continuously prevents lumps.
  5. 5

    Stir in the Dijon mustard and 1 tbsp of butter. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Keep the sauce warm over low heat.

  6. 6

    Drain the cooked potatoes. Mash them with the remaining butter and warmed milk until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper.

    💡 Tip: For extra creamy mash, add a splash of cream.
  7. 7

    Serve the chicken breasts with a generous amount of mustard sauce and a side of mashed potatoes. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley.

💡 Pro Tips

  • Use a good quality Dutch mustard for the best flavor.
  • If the sauce is too thick, thin it with a little more chicken broth or cream.
  • Ensure potatoes are well-drained before mashing to avoid a watery mash.

🔄 Variations

  • Add a tablespoon of white wine to the sauce for added depth.
  • Serve with steamed green beans or broccoli instead of mashed potatoes.
