Homestyle chicken and potatoes is always a winning combination, but we’re raising the bar—classic us! You’ll roast hearty chicken thighs on a bed of balsamic sautéed mushrooms with garlic cream sauce and asparagus sprinkled with easy-melting mozzarella. Serve it all alongside a pile of mashed potatoes for a comfort food extravaganza. *This recipe is double the typical servings, providing 4 servings and 8 servings for a 2 person and 4 person box respectively.*

• Adjust rack to top position (top and middle positions for 8 servings) and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Dice potatoes into 1⁄2-inch pieces. Trim and quarter mushrooms (skip if your mushrooms are pre-sliced!). Trim and discard woody bottom ends from asparagus. • In a medium bowl, whisk together cream sauce base, stock concentrate, garlic powder, and 3 TBSP water (6 TBSP for 8).
• Place potatoes in a medium pot with enough salted water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, 15-20 minutes. • Drain and return potatoes to pot; mash with crème fraîche until smooth. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.
• While potatoes cook, pat chicken* dry with paper towels and season all over with salt and pepper. • Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, 5-7 minutes per side. (For 8 servings, you may need to work in batches.) Remove from heat; transfer to a plate. Wipe out pan.
• Melt 2 TBSP butter (4 TBSP for 8 servings) in pan used for chicken over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and tender, 3-4 minutes. • Add vinegar and 1 tsp sugar (2 tsp for 8); cook, stirring, until vinegar is mostly reduced, 30-60 seconds.
• Transfer mushrooms to an 8-by-8-inch baking dish; top with chicken (for 8 servings, divide mushrooms and chicken between two baking dishes). Pour cream sauce mixture over top to thoroughly coat. • Arrange asparagus in bundles around chicken; sprinkle everything with mozzarella. Season with salt and pepper. • Bake on top rack until asparagus is tender and cheese is melted and lightly browned, 10-12 minutes. (Bake on top and middle racks for 8.)
• Serve mashed potatoes and chicken and mushroom bake family style or divide between plates. • Plate it up: Divide mashed potatoes between plates and top with chicken and mushrooms. Top chicken with any remaining sauce from baking dish. Serve with asparagus on the side. ***Chicken is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165°.***
