Ingredients
- 4 airline chicken breasts
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 4 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1/4 cup milk
- 4 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
- Place the chicken breasts skin-side down in the skillet and cook until the skin is crispy and browned, about 5 minutes.
- Flip the chicken breasts and transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
- Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
- While the chicken is resting, prepare the garlic mashed potatoes. Boil the potatoes in a large pot of salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add minced garlic, chicken broth, and butter to the pot.
- Mash the potatoes with a potato masher until smooth and creamy. Add milk and continue mashing until well combined.
- Stir in grated Parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the airline chicken breast with a generous scoop of garlic mashed potatoes.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and enjoy!
