Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a bowl, mix together olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Add chicken breasts to the bowl and coat evenly. Marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from grill and let rest before serving.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Mashed Potatoes

    Peel and chop the potatoes into chunks. Boil in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and return to pot.

  4. 4

    Mash the Potatoes

    Add butter, milk, salt, and black pepper to the drained potatoes. Mash until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the grilled chicken alongside a generous portion of mashed potatoes.
