Instructions

  2. Make the mashed potatoes by warming milk and mashing the potatoes with butter, then seasoning and adjusting texture with milk as needed.
  3. Season the chicken by patting dry and applying the spice mixture evenly.
  4. Sear the chicken in a skillet with olive oil and butter until golden, then set aside.
  5. Start the glazed carrots by simmering sliced carrots with butter, sugar, water, salt, and pepper until tender and glazed.
  6. Make the creamy herb sauce in the same skillet by cooking shallot and garlic, then adding broth, cream, and herbs to thicken.
  7. Finish the chicken in the sauce until cooked through and resting in the sauce.
  8. Plate the dish by serving mashed potatoes, chicken with sauce, and glazed carrots, garnished with herbs.

Notes

For extra creaminess, consider adding sour cream to the mashed potatoes. Use a meat thermometer for perfect chicken doneness.
