Bluegrass Chicken Recipe

Preparation Instructions

1. 1

   Marinate the Chicken

   In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts and coat well. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

2. 2

   Prepare the Potatoes

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

3. 3

   Whip the Potatoes

   Add the heavy cream and butter to the drained potatoes. Mash until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

4. 4

   Cook the Chicken

   Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken breasts and sear for about 6-7 minutes on each side until cooked through. Remove from the skillet and let rest.

5. 5

   Make the Bourbon Mushroom Glacé

   In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms and sauté until browned. Pour in the bourbon and simmer until reduced by half. Add a pinch of salt and pepper.

6. 6

   Serve

   On a plate, serve a generous scoop of Yukon Gold whipped potatoes, top with the pan-seared chicken, and drizzle with bourbon mushroom glacé.
