Chicken and Stuffing

Garlic Mashed Potatoes

Roasted Tomatoes

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Stuffing

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Add spinach and sun-dried tomatoes, cooking until wilted. Remove from heat and mix in feta cheese.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Chicken

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Using a sharp knife, create a pocket in each chicken breast. Stuff the pockets with the spinach mixture. Season the chicken with salt and pepper.

  3. 3

    Sear the Chicken

    In an oven-safe skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the stuffed chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Bake the Chicken

    Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C).

  2. 5

    Make Garlic Mashed Potatoes

    Boil peeled and diced potatoes in salted water until fork-tender. In a separate pot, cook minced garlic in butter until fragrant. Drain potatoes, then mash with garlic butter, heavy cream, salt, and pepper.

  3. 6

    Roast the Tomatoes

    On a baking sheet, toss cherry tomatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast in the oven (alongside the chicken) for 15-20 minutes until blistered.

  4. 7

    Prepare Parmesan Cream Sauce

    In a small saucepan, heat heavy cream over medium heat. Whisk in parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth and thickened.

Serving

  1. 8

    Plate the Dish

    On each plate, place a serving of garlic mashed potatoes, top with the stuffed chicken, drizzle with parmesan cream sauce, and garnish with roasted tomatoes.
