Ingredients
Scale
For the Garlic Herb Chicken
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh herbs (such as thyme, rosemary, and parsley), chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Mashed Potatoes
- 4 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cup milk or cream
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, minced garlic, and chopped herbs. Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat, then cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side or until fully cooked and golden brown.
- Cook the Potatoes: Place peeled and cubed potatoes in a pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain well.
- Mash the Potatoes: Return the potatoes to the pot. Add butter, milk or cream, salt, and pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.
- Serve: Plate the garlic herb chicken alongside a generous portion of mashed potatoes. Garnish with extra herbs if desired.
Notes
- For extra flavor, marinate the chicken for 30 minutes before cooking.
- You can use garlic powder if fresh garlic is unavailable.
- Adjust the herbs according to your preference.
- For creamier mashed potatoes, add more butter and milk.
- Use Yukon Gold potatoes for a naturally creamy texture.
