Ingredients

Scale

Chicken:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1 tablespoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Mashed Potatoes:

  • 2 pounds potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Glazed Carrots:

  • 1 pound carrots, peeled and cut into sticks
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar

Instructions

  1. Prepare Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, oregano, and thyme.
  2. Sear Chicken: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  3. Make Sauce: In the same skillet, add minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in chicken broth and lemon juice, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze. Return the chicken to the skillet and simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
  4. Boil Potatoes: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the cubed potatoes and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain well.
  5. Mash Potatoes: Return the potatoes to the pot and add milk, butter, salt, and pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.
  6. Cook Carrots: In a separate pan, melt butter over medium heat. Add the carrot sticks and sauté for about 5 minutes.
  7. Add Sugar: Sprinkle brown sugar over the carrots, stirring to coat. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until the carrots are tender and glazed. Season with salt and pepper.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the herbs and olive oil for a few hours before cooking.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables to the glazed carrots, such as peas or green beans.
  • Leftover mashed potatoes can be used for shepherd’s pie or potato cakes.
