This recipe is a weeknight hero – comforting, quick, and full of flavour. Searing the chicken first locks in all those rich, golden juices, which then become the base for an instant pan gravy. The lemon, herbs, and white wine lift the dish, balancing the buttery sauce. Cooking everything in one pan means less mess and more flavour, as the potatoes soak up every bit of the savoury sauce. Finish with plenty of fresh herbs and a touch of Dijon on the side for a simple, elegant dinner that feels far more luxurious.
