Tips:

- For extra flavor, marinate the chicken thighs in the chili sauce, black pepper, olive oil, and paprika mixture for at least an hour before grilling.

- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked to a safe internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

- To make the potato mash extra creamy, consider adding a splash of milk or a dollop of butter when whipping them.

- Steam the broccoli just until it becomes vibrant green and tender to preserve its nutrients and prevent it from becoming mushy.

- For a richer mash, use chicken broth in place of water when boiling the potatoes.

With this simple recipe, you'll have a delicious and nutritious dinner ready in no time. Grilled chicken thighs bring a smoky and spicy flavor, while the whipped red potato mash offers a creamy contrast. Pair these with perfectly steamed broccoli for a well-rounded meal.
