Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel and chop the red-skinned potatoes into equal-sized pieces. Place them in a pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  2. 2

    Sear the Chicken

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

  3. 3

    Make the Sage Sauce

    In the same skillet, add minced garlic and fresh sage leaves. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  4. 4

    Mash the Potatoes

    Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and return them to the pot. Add butter and milk, then mash until smooth and creamy. Season with salt to taste.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Veggies

    In a separate pot, steam or sauté the seasonal vegetables until tender but still vibrant in color, about 5-7 minutes.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Plate the mashed potatoes, top with the seared chicken breast, and drizzle the creamy sage sauce over the chicken. Serve with the seasonal veggies on the side.
