Description
A delightful meal combining savory garlic herb chicken with creamy mashed potatoes and sweet glazed carrots, perfect for dinner gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 6 medium russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 pound carrots, peeled and sliced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a small bowl, mix together the minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, olive oil, and lemon juice. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then rub the herb mixture all over them.
- Place the seasoned chicken in a baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
- While the chicken is baking, prepare the mashed potatoes. Place the cubed potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes, then return them to the pot. Add the butter and milk, and mash until smooth and fluffy. Season with salt and pepper.
- For the glazed carrots, melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in brown sugar, honey, salt, and pepper until the sugar dissolves.
- Add the sliced carrots and cook for about 10-15 minutes until tender and evenly glazed.
- Serve the garlic herb chicken alongside the creamy mashed potatoes and sweet glazed carrots.
Notes
Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Use fresh ingredients whenever possible for optimal flavor.
