🧅 1 small onion, sliced

🧄 4 garlic cloves, minced

🌿 2 tbsp chopped parsley

🌟 Seasoning & Sauce

🫒 2 tbsp olive oil

🧈 1 tbsp butter

⚫ 1 tsp black pepper

🧂 1 tsp salt

🌶️ 1 tsp paprika

🌿 1 tsp dried thyme

🍗 1/2 cup chicken broth

🥔 Creamy Mashed Potatoes

🥔 5 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed

🧈 3 tbsp butter

🥛 1/2 cup warm milk

🧂 Salt to taste

👩‍🍳 Instructions

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add potatoes

and cook for 15–18 minutes until fork tender.

Drain the potatoes and mash with butter, warm milk, and

salt until creamy and fluffy. Cover to keep warm.

Season chicken breasts with paprika, thyme, salt, and

black pepper.

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook

chicken for 5–6 minutes per side until golden and the

internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove and

rest for 5 minutes.

In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté onions, garlic,

mushrooms, and bell peppers for 5–6 minutes until

softened.

Pour in chicken broth and simmer for 2 minutes to create

a light savory sauce.

Slice the chicken and place over the mushroom-pepper

mixture. Spoon extra sauce over the top.

Serve hot alongside creamy mashed potatoes and

garnish with parsley.

💡 Helpful Notes & Variations

Add a splash of cream to the skillet sauce for extra

richness.

Yukon Gold potatoes create especially creamy mashed

potatoes.

Swap mushrooms for zucchini or spinach if desired.

Delicious with roasted green beans on the side.
