A comforting and flavorful dish featuring tender chicken breasts seasoned with garlic and herbs, perfect for family gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 large russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 2–3 inch chunks
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup whole milk, warmed
- 2 ounces cream cheese
- 1 pound carrots, peeled and sliced in half if large
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 clove garlic, grated
- 1 shallot, minced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 1/2 cup chicken stock
- 2 tablespoons cold butter
Instructions
- Add the peeled and chunked potatoes to a pot of cold salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until fork-tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- Preheat your oven to 425°F. Toss the carrots with olive oil, salt, and pepper on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast for 25–35 minutes until tender.
- Pat the chicken breasts dry and season with salt, pepper, half of the minced garlic, thyme, and Italian herbs with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Sear in a skillet for 5–6 minutes per side until golden brown.
- Transfer the chicken to a plate and tent with foil to keep warm. In the same skillet, sauté shallot and remaining garlic.
- Deglaze the pan with white wine, scraping up browned bits. Simmer for 2–3 minutes, then add chicken stock and simmer until thickened.
- Whisk in cold butter off the heat until the sauce is silky. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Mash the potatoes to your desired consistency, warming butter, cream cheese, and milk until melted. Mix into the potatoes until smooth.
Notes
Serve with creamy mashed potatoes and roasted vegetables for a complete meal. Adjust seasoning to taste.
