Description
A delightful meal featuring succulent garlic herb chicken, buttery mashed potatoes, and sweet honey-glazed carrots.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 4 large russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- ½ cup milk
- 4 tablespoons butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 pound carrots, peeled and sliced into coins
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons honey
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven: Set it to 400°F (200°C) to get it ready for roasting.
- Prepare the chicken: In a small bowl, mix the minced garlic, chopped thyme, rosemary, and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
- Rub and sear: Coat both sides of the chicken breasts with your garlic herb mixture. Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat and add the butter until it sizzles. Sear the chicken for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Transfer the skillet to your preheated oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- Make the mashed potatoes: While the chicken cooks, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cubed potatoes and cook until fork-tender, approximately 15-20 minutes. Drain and return them to the pot, adding the milk, butter, and seasonings. Mash until smooth.
- Glaze the carrots: In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Sauté the sliced carrots for 5-6 minutes, then drizzle with honey and season well. Continue to cook for another 3-4 minutes.
Notes
Taste the chicken rub and adjust as needed. Feel free to substitute the herbs or spice it up with red pepper flakes.
