A comforting dish featuring marinated chicken breasts topped with a savory glaze, served over velvety mashed potatoes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 chicken breasts
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh herbs (like rosemary, thyme, or parsley), chopped
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 pounds potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional for thickening)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken: In a large bowl, combine the minced garlic, olive oil, chopped herbs, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts and let them marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Sauté the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  3. Boil the Potatoes: Bring a pot of salted water to boil, add the cubed potatoes, and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and return to the pot.
  4. Mash the Potatoes: Add the milk and butter to the pot with the drained potatoes. Mash until creamy and smooth, seasoning with salt and pepper.
  5. Create the Pan Sauce: In the same skillet, pour in the chicken broth and any drippings left from the chicken. Simmer over medium heat.
  6. Thicken the Sauce: If desired, mix cornstarch with water and add it to the skillet, stirring until thickened.
  7. Add Brightness: Stir in the lemon juice to the sauce.
  8. Serve with Love: Ladle mashed potatoes onto each plate, top with chicken, and drizzle the sauce.

Notes

Marinating the chicken for a few hours or overnight enhances flavors. Use different potatoes for varied textures.
