Method

Preparing the Wood Grilled Chicken

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, mix olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and rosemary. Coat the chicken breasts with the marinade and let them sit for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat your wood grill. Grill the marinated chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Making the Mashed Potatoes

  1. 3

    Boil the Potatoes

    Peel and chop the potatoes into quarters. Boil them in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  2. 4

    Mash the Potatoes

    Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add butter, milk, salt, and black pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.

Preparing the Seasonal Vegetables

  1. 5

    Sauté the Vegetables

    Toss the mixed seasonal vegetables in olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Sauté them in a pan over medium heat until they are tender, about 8-10 minutes.

Making the Garlic Confit Jus

  1. 6

    Prepare the Garlic Confit

    In a small saucepan, add garlic cloves and cover with olive oil. Cook on low heat for about 30 minutes until the garlic is soft and golden. Remove the garlic and set aside.

  2. 7

    Make the Jus

    Add chicken stock and thyme to the saucepan. Simmer for about 10 minutes, then add salt and pepper to taste. Blend the garlic with the jus for a smooth consistency.
