Creamy Chicken & Veggies

This creamy chicken and vegetable skillet is the ultimate comfort food. Tender sliced chicken breasts are simmered with mirepoix, green pepper, and sweet onion in a rich blend of chicken stock, butter, and heavy cream. Thickened with cornstarch for a velvety finish, it’s a warm and satisfying dish perfect for chilly evenings or family dinners.

Cream-based chicken dishes have long been a staple in European and American home cooking. The use of mirepoix—a classic French flavor base of onion, celery, and carrot—dates back to the 18th century and adds depth to countless soups and stews. Combining this with cream and butter creates a luxurious sauce reminiscent of rustic farmhouse meals and classic French velouté. This dish blends old-world technique with modern simplicity, offering a timeless taste of comfort.
