A delicious recipe for Garlic Herb Chicken served with creamy mashed potatoes and glazed carrots, perfect for a family dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 pounds)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 pound potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1/2 cup milk
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 pound carrots, sliced
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup water
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Rub the mixture all over the chicken breasts.
- Place the seasoned chicken breasts in a baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- While the chicken is baking, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cubed potatoes and cook for 15-20 minutes or until tender. Drain and return to the pot.
- Add milk and butter to the potatoes. Mash until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- In a medium saucepan, combine sliced carrots, brown sugar, and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cook for 10-15 minutes or until the carrots are tender and the liquid has thickened slightly.
- Serve the sliced garlic herb chicken alongside the creamy mashed potatoes and glazed carrots.
Notes
- For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the herb mixture for a few hours or overnight before cooking.
- You can substitute sweet potatoes for regular potatoes for a different flavor profile in the mashed potatoes.
