Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 60 ml Balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 800 grams Potatoes
- 3 pieces Spring onions (thinly sliced)
- 150 ml Milk
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 250 ml Water
- 1 tablespoon Parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel and cut the potatoes into evenly sized chunks. Place them in a large pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Add a pinch of salt and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
While the potatoes cook, prepare the balsamic glaze. In a small bowl, mix the balsamic vinegar, honey, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.
Season the chicken breasts with a pinch of salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
Pour the balsamic glaze mixture over the chicken in the skillet, then add 250 ml of water to the pan. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 8-10 minutes, occasionally spooning the sauce over the chicken to coat it evenly. The glaze should thicken slightly as it cooks.
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and return them to the pot. Add the milk, butter, and sliced spring onions. Mash until creamy, adjusting the consistency with more milk if needed. Season with salt to taste.
To serve, spoon the spring onion mash onto plates, top with the balsamic glazed chicken, and drizzle extra glaze from the pan over each serving. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Balsamic Glazed Chicken with Spring Onion Mash!
