Method

Cooking the Chicken

  1. 1

    Sear the Chicken

    Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear for about 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from skillet and let rest.

Making the Parmesan Cream Sauce

  1. 2

    Prepare the Sauce

    In the same skillet, melt butter and add minced garlic. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Add fresh herbs and season to taste with salt and pepper.

Preparing the White Cheddar Mash

  1. 3

    Cook and Mash Potatoes

    Boil the cubed potatoes in salted water until tender (about 15-20 minutes). Drain and return to pot. Add butter, milk, white cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.

Preparing the Lemon Parmesan Broccolini

  1. 4

    Sauté the Broccolini

    In a separate pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add broccolini and sauté for 5-7 minutes until tender. Drizzle with lemon juice and sprinkle with shaved Parmesan. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Plating

  1. 5

    Serve

    Slice the chicken and serve on a plate with a generous portion of white cheddar mash, topped with the parmesan cream sauce. Add the lemon parmesan broccolini on the side.
