Tender, bite-sized chicken pieces contrast with soft, fork-tender cubes of white and sweet potato. Sliced mushrooms and sautéed onions add a slightly chewy, meaty element while the milk-and-yogurt sauce gives an overall creamy, slightly silky mouthfeel.
Warm, buttery aromas with savory notes of cooked chicken and earthy mushrooms dominate, with a hint of caramelized onion sweetness. The dish has a comforting, mild dairy aroma from the milk and Greek yogurt that rounds out the savory scents.
A medium-bodied white like a lightly oaked Chardonnay or a crisp Sauvignon Blanc; alternatively a light-bodied Pinot Noir or a dry hard cider for contrast.
A bright green salad with a lemon vinaigrette to cut the richness; steamed or roasted green beans or broccoli for freshness; crusty bread or a warm baguette to soak up the creamy sauce.
Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the diced chicken pieces and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through. Remove the chicken and set aside on a plate.
In the same pan, add 1 more tablespoon butter. Add the diced onions and sliced mushrooms, cooking for 3-4 minutes until softened and lightly golden. Stir occasionally.
Add the diced white potatoes and sweet potatoes to the pan. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring every 2-3 minutes, until the potatoes are tender.
Pour in 1 cup milk and add 3 tablespoons Greek yogurt, stirring well to combine. Return the cooked chicken to the pan and mix everything together. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce is warm and creamy.
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Serve hot directly from the pan or transfer to plates. Enjoy!
