INGREDIENTS
8 oz Chicken Breast
1.5 cups Mashed Potatoes
1 cup Green Beans
1 tbsp Olive Oil (for sautéing green beans)
1 tsp Olive Oil (drizzle finish)
2 cloves Garlic
Salt and Pepper (to taste)
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken breast dry and season generously with salt and pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil (about 1 tsp) and sear the chicken breast for 5-6 minutes on each side until a golden crust forms and the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove from the pan and let rest.
While the chicken rests, prepare the mashed potatoes. If not pre-made, boil peeled and cubed russet potatoes until tender. Drain then mash with a little salt, and if desired, a splash of low-fat milk for creaminess. Adjust seasonings.
For the green beans, heat a skillet on medium heat with 1 tbsp olive oil. Add minced garlic from 2 cloves and sauté until fragrant. Toss in the green beans and cook for about 4-5 minutes until they are crisp-tender. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Plate the meal by slicing the chicken breast, serving alongside a generous portion of mashed potatoes and garlic green beans. Drizzle any remaining olive oil over the green beans for extra flavor if desired.
