Ingredients
Scale
- 4 chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 pounds potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1/2 cup milk
- 4 tablespoons butter
Instructions
- Seasoning the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts generously with salt, pepper, minced garlic, fresh thyme, and rosemary.
- Searing the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place the seasoned chicken breasts in the skillet and cook until golden brown and cooked through—about 6-7 minutes on each side.
- Creating the Glaze: In a bowl, mix together chicken broth, soy sauce, and honey. Pour this mixture into the skillet once the chicken is browned. Let it simmer until the sauce thickens.
- Boiling the Potatoes: Boil the potatoes in a pot of salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain well.
- Mashing to Perfection: Return the drained potatoes to the pot and add milk and butter. Mash until creamy and smooth.
- Final Assembly and Serving: Place a scoop of mashed potatoes on each plate, top with glazed chicken, and drizzle with pan sauce.
