Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1 tablespoon dried thyme
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
  • 900 grams potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 120 millilitres milk
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 450 grams carrots, peeled and cut into sticks
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Pat the chicken breasts dry and season all sides evenly with salt, black pepper, dried oregano, and dried thyme.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and sear for 5–7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until aromatic.
  4. Deglaze the pan with chicken broth and lemon juice, scraping up any browned bits. Return the chicken breasts to the skillet.
  5. Simmer gently in the sauce for 5 minutes to absorb flavour. Remove from heat and keep warm.
  6. In a large saucepan, bring salted water to a boil. Add cubed potatoes and cook for 15–20 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain thoroughly.
  7. Return drained potatoes to the pot. Add milk, butter, salt, and pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning as desired.
  8. In a separate pan, melt butter over medium heat. Add carrot sticks and sauté for 5 minutes.
  9. Sprinkle brown sugar over the sautéed carrots. Stir well, then cook for 5 more minutes until the carrots are tender and glossy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  10. Arrange the chicken breasts, mashed potatoes, and glazed carrots on serving plates. Spoon some pan sauce over the chicken and garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Cooking times may vary based on the thickness of the chicken breasts.
  • For a lighter version, substitute butter with olive oil in the mashed potatoes.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables to the glazed carrots if desired.
