Ingredients

For the Chicken:

4 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons dried Italian herbs (or thyme, rosemary, and oregano mix)
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon butter (for finishing)
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

For the Mashed Potatoes:

5 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
½ cup milk (warm)
3 tablespoons butter
Salt and pepper to taste

For the Glazed Carrots:

4 large carrots, peeled and sliced
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons honey (or brown sugar)
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon cinnamon (optional, for warmth)

Instructions & Methods

Chicken:

Pat the chicken breasts dry and season them with salt, pepper, paprika, and herbs.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds, until fragrant.
Place chicken in the skillet, sear for 4–5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature 165°F / 74°C).
Add a knob of butter at the end for richness. Garnish with parsley.

Mashed Potatoes:

Boil potatoes in salted water until fork-tender (about 15 minutes).
Drain and mash with butter, milk, salt, and pepper.
Beat until creamy and smooth.

Glazed Carrots:

Steam or boil carrots until tender but not mushy.
In a pan, melt butter and stir in honey (or brown sugar).
Toss carrots in the glaze, season with salt, and add cinnamon if desired.
Cook until shiny and coated.

History

Garlic herb chicken traces back to rustic European kitchens, where garlic and herbs were essential for both flavor and preservation. Mashed potatoes became a staple comfort food in the 18th century, spreading across continents for their creamy texture. Glazed carrots, a French-inspired side, symbolize a touch of elegance and sweetness on the plate. Together, this trio embodies tradition, comfort, and warmth.

Formation (Serving & Presentation)

Plate a generous scoop of mashed potatoes, place the chicken breast neatly beside it, and arrange glazed carrots for color contrast. Drizzle extra garlic butter from the skillet over the chicken and sprinkle fresh parsley on top. Serve hot, with perhaps a slice of crusty bread on the side.
