GARLIC HERB CHICKEN WITH MASHED POTATOES AND GLAZED CARROTS
INSTRUCTIONS:
STEP 1: COOK THE CHICKEN
Prepare Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, oregano, and thyme.
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.
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.
STEP 2: MAKE THE MASHED POTATOES
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.
Mash Potatoes: Return the potatoes to the pot and add milk, butter, salt, and pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.
STEP 3: GLAZE THE CARROTS
Cook Carrots: In a separate pan, melt butter over medium heat. Add the carrot sticks and sauté for about 5 minutes.
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.
STEP 4: SERVE
Plate the chicken, mashed potatoes, and glazed carrots. Garnish with fresh parsley.
