Step 1
Put potatoes and carrots in a pot, cover with salted water, bring to boil. Cook potatoes until fork-tender, about 12 minutes.
Step 2
While water heats, pat chicken dry and season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
Step 3
Heat 1 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high until foaming. Sear chicken 5 minutes per side until golden brown; transfer to a plate.
Step 4
In the same skillet, add remaining 2 tbsp butter and mushrooms. Sauté until golden and liquid releases, about 4 minutes.
Step 5
Pour in broth and cream, scraping up browned bits. Nestle chicken back in, add broccoli florets. Simmer 6 minutes until broccoli is tender-crisp and chicken reaches 165°F.
Step 6
Drain potatoes and carrots, reserving 1/2 cup cooking water. Mash with 2 tbsp butter and reserved water until creamy; season with salt and pepper.
Step 7
Divide mashed potatoes and creamy chicken with vegetables among plates. Drizzle gravy from the pan over the top. Serve immediately.
