Instructions
Follow these simple steps to prepare your Garlic Herb Chicken with Mashed Potatoes and Glazed Carrots:
For the Garlic Herb Chicken:
1. Prep the Marinade: In a bowl, mix minced garlic, fresh thyme, parsley, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts into the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes, or longer for more flavor.
3. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
4. Bake the Chicken: Place marinated chicken breasts in a baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and has an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
5. Rest the Chicken: Once done, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
For the Mashed Potatoes:
1. Boil the Potatoes: In a large pot, add cubed Yukon Gold potatoes and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
2. Drain and Mash: Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add butter, whole milk, salt, and pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.
3. Adjust Seasoning: Taste and adjust the seasoning as necessary.
For the Glazed Carrots:
1. Cook the Carrots: In a saucepan, bring water to a boil and add baby carrots. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until slightly tender.
2. Add the Glaze: Drain the carrots and return them to the saucepan. Add butter, brown sugar, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat over medium heat for about 5 minutes until the carrots are glazed and tender.
3. Garnish: If desired, sprinkle fresh parsley over the glazed carrots for added color.
