Creamy mustard chicken with garlic mash

Creamy mustard chicken with garlic mash is a delicious and comforting dish that combines tender chicken breasts in a rich mustard sauce and creamy mashed potatoes infused with the savory essence of garlic. This recipe is perfect for a hearty family meal or a special dinner with friends, offering a delightful balance of flavors and textures.

Ingredients:

4 potatoes
800g
1 tbsp olive oil
14g
1.50 lb chicken breasts
680g
1 cup chicken gravy
200g
1 tbsp mustard
16g
1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
72g
3/4 cup milk (1% fat)
180g
2 garlic cloves
6g

Instructions:

2. Mash the Potatoes:
- Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot.
- In a small saucepan, heat the 3/4 cup of milk over low heat until warm.
- Add the 2 minced garlic cloves to the warm milk and let it infuse for a minute.
- Mash the potatoes using a potato masher or a fork.
- Gradually add the garlic-infused milk and 1/3 cup heavy whipping cream to the mashed potatoes, continuing to mash until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside and keep warm.
4. Cook Chicken:
- Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Remove chicken from the skillet and keep warm.
5. Make the Sauce:
- In the same skillet, add 1 cup chicken gravy and 1 tbsp mustard.
- Stir to combine and bring to a gentle simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet for extra flavor.
6. Combine and Serve:
- Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, turning to coat them in the sauce.
- Let the chicken simmer in the sauce for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through and fully coated.

Tips:

- Choose the right potatoes: For the creamiest mashed potatoes, opt for starchy varieties like Russet or Yukon Gold.

- Properly season your potatoes: Don't forget to generously salt the boiling water when cooking your potatoes. This ensures that the mash is flavorful from the inside out.

- Don't overmix the mash: Overmixing can make the potatoes gluey. Mash them just enough to achieve a smooth consistency.

- Use fresh garlic: Fresh garlic cloves will impart a more robust flavor compared to pre-minced options. Crush the cloves before adding them to the mash for an even better taste.

- Adjust the cream and mustard to taste: Feel free to tweak the amounts of cream and mustard to suit your personal preference. Adding more mustard will enhance the tangy flavor, while additional cream will make the sauce richer.

- Let chicken rest before slicing: After cooking the chicken, let it rest for a few minutes to retain its juices, ensuring each bite is as tender as possible.

By following this recipe, you can create a comforting and flavorful meal that will surely impress your family and guests. Creamy mustard chicken with garlic mash is a perfect combination of succulent chicken and rich, velvety mashed potatoes, leaving everyone at the table satisfied and eager for seconds.
