Chicken Marinade

Mashed Potatoes

Seasonal Vegetables

Garlic Confit Jus

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, mix together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Add chicken breasts, ensuring they are well coated. Marinate for at least 1 hour or up to overnight in the refrigerator.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Mashed Potatoes

    Peel and chop the potatoes into chunks. Boil in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and return to pot. Add butter, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.

  3. 3

    Prepare Seasonal Vegetables

    Chop zucchini, bell peppers, and carrots. Toss with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Grill or sauté until tender.

  4. 4

    Make Garlic Confit Jus

    In a small saucepan, combine garlic cloves and olive oil. Cook on low heat for about 30 minutes until garlic is soft. Add chicken stock, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes, then strain if desired.

Grilling

  1. 5

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade and grill for 6-7 minutes on each side or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Serving

  1. 6

    Plate the Dish

    On each plate, serve a portion of mashed potatoes, grilled chicken, and seasonal vegetables. Drizzle garlic confit jus over the chicken and around the plate.
