Blue Plate Chicken Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Mashed Potatoes

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

2. 2

   Mash the Potatoes

   Add 4 tbsp of butter and 1 cup of milk to the potatoes. Mash until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm.

3. 3

   Cook the Chicken

   Heat 2 tbsp of olive oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.

4. 4

   Sear the Chicken

   Place the chicken breasts in the skillet and sear for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and let rest.

5. 5

   Make the Lemon-Pepper Demi

   In the same skillet, add the chicken broth and lemon juice. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Stir in 2 tbsp of butter until melted and smooth.

6. 6

   Prepare the Haricot Vert

   Blanch the haricot vert in boiling salted water for 3-4 minutes, then transfer to ice water to stop the cooking. Drain and set aside.

7. 7

   Plate the Dish

   On each plate, create a bed of mashed potatoes, top with the seared chicken, pour over the lemon-pepper demi, and serve with haricot vert on the side.
