Welcome! I am so happy you chose to gather around my table. My name is Mia Swinehart and I am a registered dietitian with a passion for simple healthy recipes, women's hormonal health, and overall wellness!
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 or Always Pan for this). Everything will get cooked in this one skillet, for an incredibly easy and delish dinner!
Itβs the perfect weeknight dinner- full of flavor and leaves your house smelling like heaven! The creamy white wine sauce is honestly so dreamy- and SO easy to make! Plus, it can be made dairy free!
I love to serve this with an extra side of roasted veggies, like asparagus or broccoli, to add some extra nutrients to the meal!
This meal is a great balance of protein, healthy fats, and complex carbohydrates.
Be sure to read the notes in the directions, as Iβve given some dairy free alternatives! Iβm personally not intolerant to dairy, and I love this with the butter and cream as is (plus, itβs a small amount). But, if you need some substitutions then Iβve got you covered!
For dairy free, I like to use Nut Pods plain dairy free creamer in place of the heavy cream. It works like a charm!
This is one of those meals that I so often get messages from followers saying it helped their dad, boyfriend, husband, or. sibling eat healthier! Itβs a great comfort food meal (who doesnβt love perfectly cooked potatoes?), has a great savory flavor, and itβs filling while not being too heavy.
Itβs just a staple weeknight meal. We also love this on the weekend with a nice glass of wine It never gets old- I could make this recipe truly every week!!
I cannot wait for you guys to make this one! Itβs truly so delicious. Enjoy and let me know if you give this one a try! xx
Delicious white wine skillet chicken, potatoes, and carrots!
Ingredients
Scale
Olive oil, for the pan
6β8 chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
2 tbsp butter (vegan butter for dairy free)
1/3 cup diced onion
3β4 garlic cloves, minced
4 large carrots, roughly chopped
6 small-medium yellow or red potatoes (this was just under 1 lb for me), cubed
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
4β5 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!

Did you make this recipe? Be sure to tag @gatherednutrition on INstagram so I can see what you made! Leaving a rating and review on the site is a huge help too!
Absolutely delicious! And so simple to make. Only one dish was dirtied, which made cleanup a breeze! The smells wafting through the house were so yummy and comforting, this will definitely be a weekly meal in our house!
This has quickly become one of my boyfriend and my FAVORITE meals! Itβs 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 Iβm 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 breastβs 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 Miaβs recipes are great and not one has ever let me or my family down (and we are a picky bunch)!
Mia β this was seriously delicious. Thank you for an easy, feel good, super tasty dinner!!!
For other readers β 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 itβs 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! Iβm 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! Canβt wait to make again.
This looks DELICIOUS. All your recipes are perfect, I love them all so much. I canβt wait to try this one. One question, will this work with chicken breasts instead of thighs? I know you probably have only tried with thighs but thought I would ask anyways. Thank you for providing simple, healthy and delish recipes always Mia!
My daughter introduced me to this recipe and it quickly became one of our favorites. Good for a chilly Fall day, even though I had it for the first time in the summer. Delicious fresh flavors, hearty meal. Thank you!
My daughter introduced me to Miaβs website. I am always looking for simple gluten free/dairy free recipes to try due to food intolerances and/or food allergies in my family. This is absolutely delicious and so easy to make! I used dairy free half and half, used corn starch (all I had) and used turnips with a reduced amount of potatoes. So so good. I have tried a few of Miaβs other recipes and have really liked those as well. Thank you Mia. Keep the recipes coming!
WOW this was so easy and delicious! Perfect for a chilly winter night when youβre short on time. I made a few subs due to what I had on hand but it was still amazing!
Subbed cornstarch for tapioca starch, chicken breasts for thighs, and dairy-free milk for cream.
Great recipe! I used chicken breasts and corn starch because thatβs what I had. And I added celery. Itβs really good and I would definitely make it again and again!
Made this last night for dinner and was so so happy with how it turned out!! Amazing flavor development for such a simple meal. LOVED that I had almost everything on hand too!
Made this for lunch because I knew Iβd be having a more indulgent dinner and wanted to pack some veggies in, while still staying full enough not to snack before dinner time! This dish did not disappoint. It was flavorful, filling and nutritious. I scaled the recipe down to 1 serving and did not have any issues. Same cook time, etc. I also added some roasted cauliflower I needed to use up. I did omit the wine and use plain, unsweetened almond milk instead of cream, but I still felt the dish was plenty saucy/creamy. Will definitely make again!
I made this tonight and itβs sooo delicious! Simple to make and has tons of flavor! I added fresh Rosemary in addition to the thyme and it was super tasty. I sent the recipe to my mom & sisterβs and now theyβre all planning on making it soon too!
I made this recipe last night and it was so good! I didnβt have any wine or starch but it turned out lovely. I had an extra chicken breast that I threw in with the thighs and it was great. I ate it for leftovers this afternoon and it was just as good the next day.
I think I cut the potatoes a bit too big, they took a while to cook down, but thats my fault!
I love eating hearty but healthy meals and this one takes the cake! My partner is a picky eater and absolutely loves this meal as well, so we will definitely be making again. My favorite part is the ingredients are easily found in my pantry and hearty, like a winter stew, but the lemon and wine subtlety really makes a winter stew feel more all-season fresh and light. Will 100% be making many times over! (PS we subbed chicken breast because thatβs what we had and it worked flawlessly)
It never gets old- I could make this recipe truly every week!! 
SO delicious and so beyond easy to make. LOVED this easy meal prep recipe and will definitely be making again!
