🧺 Ingredients:
For the Chicken:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp butter
5 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper, to taste
Optional: Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
For the Mashed Potatoes:
2 pounds potatoes, peeled and cubed
1/2 cup milk (or heavy cream for extra richness)
1/4 cup butter
Salt and pepper, to taste
👩🍳 Instructions:
In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat.
Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Sear for 5–6 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked. Set aside.
In the same skillet, sauté minced garlic for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream, scraping up those delicious browned bits from the pan.
Stir in Parmesan cheese and simmer for 5–7 minutes until the sauce thickens beautifully.
Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon the creamy sauce over the top. Simmer for another 2–3 minutes to coat in all that garlicky goodness!
For the Mashed Potatoes: 7. Boil potatoes in salted water for about 15–20 minutes until fork-tender. 8. Drain and mash with butter, milk (or cream), and season with salt and pepper to taste until smooth and fluffy.
Plate the mashed potatoes, top with the creamy garlic chicken, drizzle with extra sauce, and sprinkle with fresh parsley for the finishing touch. Enjoy every creamy, comforting bite! 🌿
💡 Helpful Tip: For an extra burst of flavor, add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the chicken just before serving!
