Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the chicken thighs with salt and black pepper, then place them skin-side down in the skillet. Sear for 5-7 minutes until golden brown. Flip and sear for another 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Garlic and Broth

    Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in chicken broth and sprinkle thyme over the chicken. Bring to a simmer.

  3. 3

    Braise the Chicken

    Lower the heat, cover the skillet, and let the chicken braise for 30-35 minutes until fully cooked and tender.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Garlic Mashed Potatoes

    While the chicken is cooking, peel and chop the potatoes. Boil in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and return to pot.

  5. 5

    Mash the Potatoes

    Add butter, milk, and minced garlic to the drained potatoes. Mash until smooth and creamy. Season with salt to taste.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Plate the garlic mashed potatoes, top with braised chicken, and spoon some of the broth over the dish. Enjoy!
