Roasted Chicken Breast Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Chicken

   Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and sear for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from the pan and let rest.

2. 2

   Make the Potato Puree

   Peel and chop the potatoes. Boil them in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and return to the pot. Add butter, milk, and grated cheese. Mash until smooth and creamy. Season with salt to taste.

3. 3

   Wilt the Spinach

   In the same pan used for the chicken, add a little more olive oil if needed. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Add spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.

4. 4

   Make the Pan Sauce

   Add chicken broth and fresh herbs to the pan. Scrape up any browned bits and simmer for 5 minutes to reduce slightly. Adjust seasoning as necessary.

5. 5

   Serve

   Slice the chicken breasts and serve on a plate with a generous scoop of potato puree and wilted spinach. Drizzle the pan sauce over the chicken.
