Creating Glazed Garlic Herb Chicken Breast Over Creamy Mashed Potatoes is easier than you might think. Follow these simple steps to achieve a delicious result:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- This step ensures your chicken is cooked evenly and nicely browned.
- Prepare the Marinade:
- In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, honey, salt, and black pepper.
- Marinate the Chicken:
- Place the chicken breasts in a resealable bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them.
- Seal the bag (or cover the dish) and let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- Cook the Potatoes:
- While the chicken is marinating, place the cubed potatoes in a pot and cover them with water.
- Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
- Bake the Chicken:
- Arrange the marinated chicken on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
- Make the Mashed Potatoes:
- Once the potatoes are tender, drain them and return them to the pot.
- Add heavy cream, butter, salt, and pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.
- Serve the Chicken:
- Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.
- Slice the chicken breasts before serving to let out the delicious juices.
- Plate the Dish:
- Spoon the creamy mashed potatoes onto plates, adding the sliced chicken on top.
- Drizzle any excess marinade/glaze over the chicken.
- Garnish:
- Sprinkle chopped chives or parsley on top for an added touch of color and flavor.
