Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 pieces russet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 cups whole milk
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 pieces garlic cloves
- 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme
- 2 pieces carrots
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon optional parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
Peel and dice the russet potatoes into evenly sized chunks. Place them in a large pot, cover with water, and boil over medium heat until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
While the potatoes cook, pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season them with 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, 1 teaspoon of rosemary, and 1 teaspoon of thyme.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, until golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F). Remove from the skillet and let rest for 5 minutes.
In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sauté minced garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add diced carrots and broccoli florets, and cook for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, if desired.
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and return them to the pot. Add butter and milk, then mash until creamy and smooth. Season with salt to taste.
To assemble the dish, plate a generous serving of mashed potatoes, top with sliced chicken breast, and serve the vegetable medley on the side. Garnish with chopped parsley, if using.
Enjoy your 'Something Good' meal warm!
