Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Begin by peeling and cubing your potatoes, then set them aside. Mince the garlic and season the chicken with salt and pepper.
Cooking the Chicken
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken pieces. Sear on both sides until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about a minute until fragrant. Slowly pour in the chicken broth, stirring to deglaze the pan. Return the chicken to the skillet, cover, and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes until fully cooked.
Preparing the Mashed Potatoes
- While the chicken is cooking, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cubed potatoes and cook until fork-tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and return them to the pot. Add butter, milk, and cheese, mashing until creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serving
- Once the chicken is done, serve it hot over a generous scoop of cheesy mashed potatoes, then drizzle with the rich garlic gravy.
Notes
Substitutions can include using halal-friendly turkey instead of chicken or vegetable broth for a vegetarian version. Be mindful of seasoning to maintain balance.
