Pan-Seared Chicken with Creamy Garlic Mashed Potatoes and Crispy Green Beans
Enjoy a beautifully balanced plate featuring juicy pan-seared chicken breast paired with silky creamy garlic mashed potatoes and crisp, sautéed green beans. The tender chicken delivers lean protein while the mashed potatoes provide a comforting, velvety texture enriched with a touch of garlic, and the green beans add a satisfying crunch at every bite.
INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1 medium Potato
1 teaspoon Butter
1/4 cup Low-Fat Milk
1/2 tablespoon Olive Oil (for mashed potatoes)
1 teaspoon Olive Oil (for green beans)
1 cup Green Beans
2 cloves Garlic
PREPARATION
Begin by prepping the chicken breast: pat dry and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil reserved for the chicken if needed. Sear the chicken breast for about 4-5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through, then set aside to rest.
Meanwhile, peel and dice the potato, and boil it in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
In a small saucepan, gently warm the low-fat milk with the butter and minced garlic to infuse the flavor.
Drain the potatoes and mash them until smooth, gradually stirring in the warm milk mixture to achieve a creamy texture. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
For the green beans, trim the ends and steam or blanch them briefly until they are bright green but still crisp. Then, in a skillet, heat 1 teaspoon olive oil and toss the green beans for a light sauté, seasoning lightly with salt.
Plate the dish by arranging a portion of mashed potatoes alongside the chicken breast, and a serving of crispy green beans.
Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs if desired and serve warm.
