Step 1
Cut potatoes into 1-inch chunks. Boil in salted water until fork-tender, about 12 minutes. Drain, mash with butter and salt.
Step 2
Trim green beans, then boil in salted water until tender-crisp, about 5 minutes. Drain and toss with butter and salt.
Step 3
Pat chicken dry. Season both sides with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering.
Step 4
Sear chicken 6 minutes per side without moving. It should be golden brown and cooked through (165°F internal).
Step 5
Remove chicken to a plate. Pour white wine into the pan, scraping up browned bits. Add cream, mustard, and thyme.
Step 6
Simmer sauce 2 minutes until it coats the back of a spoon. Return chicken to the pan for 30 seconds to glaze.
Step 7
Plate chicken with mashed potatoes and green beans. Spoon sauce over the chicken. Serve hot.
