Our current favorite one pan meal! This skillet chicken and potatoes is simmered in a mouth-watering white wine sauce. Plus, the smells that will fill your kitchen are unreal!
This dish is super simple to make. You just need a good 10-12 inch skillet (I love my cast iron pan for this). Everything will get cooked in this one skillet, for an incredibly easy and delish dinner!
Be sure to read the notes in the directions, as I’ve given some dairy free alternatives! I’m personally not intolerant to dairy, and I love this with the butter and cream as is (plus, it’s a small amount). But, if you need some substitutions then I’ve got you covered!
I cannot wait for you guys to make this one! It’s truly so delicious. Enjoy! xx

Delicious white wine skillet chicken, potatoes, and carrots!
Ingredients
- Olive oil, for the pan
- 4–5 chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
- 2 tbsp butter (vegan butter for dairy free)
- 1/3 cup diced onion
- 3–4 garlic cloves, minced
- 4 large carrots, roughly chopped
- 6 small-medium yellow potatoes (this was juts under 1 lb for me)
- 1/3 cup dry white wine
- 3/4 cup veggie or chicken broth
- 1/4 cup heavy cream (for dairy free, sub a PLAIN unsweetened dairy free creamer)
- 1 tbsp tapioca or arrowroot starch
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 4–5 sprigs of fresh thyme, stems removed
- Sea salt and pepper, to taste
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
Instructions
- Season the chicken thighs well with salt and pepper. Heat a 10-12 inch cast iron skillet over medium hear and grease with olive oil. Once hot, add the chicken thighs and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, until cooked through. Set aside on a plate or cutting board.
- Add the 2 tbsp of butter to the pan. Once melted, slightly reduce heat and add onion, garlic, carrots, and potatoes. Season with salt and pepper and give everything a good stir to coat. Allow to cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. While cooking, roughly chop the chicken thighs into more bite-sized pieces.
- Add the wine and allow to cook down for 2 minutes, then stir in the broth, heavy cream, and tapioca starch. Stir until the tapioca starch is mixed in well.
- Add the chicken thigh pieces back to the pan along with the Italian seasoning and thyme leaves. Stir everything well, then reduce heat to a low simmer. Cover the pan with a lid for 20-25 minutes, until veggies are fork tender. Squeeze lemon juice over everything and serve!

This has quickly become one of my boyfriend and my FAVORITE meals! It’s so quick and delicious, and the white wine sauce makes it feel a little fancy.
The first time we made it, we were craving it to be a little bit saucier to eat over pasta, so we increased all of the sauce components by 1/3rd and it hit the spot 🙂 thank you for one of our new go to recipes!!

I made this last night for my family and we absolutely loved it. Usually I have to trick my dad into eating healthier things by not telling him hat I’m making for him, and after dinner last night he told me I needed to make this a regular meal for us! I added more potatoes and carrots and used chicken breast’s because tbh we are not a chicken thighs family. So I added more cream, wine, and vegetable broth to make sure it was all covered and it was perfect! and the lemon juice at the end is a simple but completely necessary touch! really brought all the flavors together. Okay this review has become novel-like but Mia’s recipes are great and not one has ever let me or my family down (and we are a picky bunch)!
Mia Zarlengo
Yay! This makes me so so happy- this is one of my favorite meals for those picky eaters! So glad your family enjoyed it xoxo

Mia – this was seriously delicious. Thank you for an easy, feel good, super tasty dinner!!!
For other readers – I used 2 tbsp gluten free all purpose flour in substitute of the tapioca / arrowroot and it worked perfectly. I also used half & half and chicken breasts as it’s what we had. So delicious, so simple. Two of us polished it off 😂
I will say my 10 1/4 inch skillet was a little tight on space so I had to simmer about 2x as long. Will use my larger skillet next time!

This was really tasty! I’m dairy free and my boyfriend is gluten free so it can be hard to find interesting recipes that accommodate both of us. This does just that! Can’t wait to make again.
