INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1 medium Potato
1 tbsp Heavy Cream
1 cup Green Beans
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 Garlic Clove
1/2 Lemon
2 tbsp Fresh Herbs (Parsley & Thyme)
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken breast dry, then season with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Let it rest to absorb the flavors.
Heat a non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Place the chicken in the pan and sear for about 5-6 minutes per side until golden and fully cooked. Once done, squeeze additional lemon over the chicken and sprinkle with chopped fresh herbs.
Meanwhile, peel and cube the potato. Boil in salted water until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and return to the pot.
Mash the potatoes with the garlic (minced or pressed), then stir in the heavy cream until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as desired.
Steam or blanch the green beans until they are crisp-tender, about 3-4 minutes. For extra crispiness, you can sauté them quickly in a separate pan with a dash of olive oil and a pinch of salt.
Plate the seared chicken alongside a generous serving of creamy garlic mashed potatoes and crispy green beans. Garnish with extra fresh herbs and a slice of lemon if desired.
