Indulge in the delightful harmony of flavors that come together in this elegant chicken dish. Tender, pan-seared chicken is elegantly complemented by a vibrant lemon herb sauce, while creamy garlic mashed potatoes offer a comforting balance, making it perfect for a cozy evening at home.
Step 1: Begin by boiling the potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
Step 2: While the potatoes cook, season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through.
Step 3: Remove the chicken and keep warm. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and chopped parsley, stirring to combine.
Step 4: Drain the potatoes and mash with butter, heavy cream, salt, and garlic until creamy.
Step 5: Serve the chicken drizzled with the lemon herb sauce alongside the garlic mashed potatoes.
