Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Marinade

  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 3 fresh garlic cloves, finely minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • 3 tablespoons natural olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Mashed Potatoes

  • 4 medium potatoes, peeled and chopped
  • 2 tablespoons plant-based butter
  • 1/4 cup plant-based milk, unsweetened
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon natural gelling agent (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Herb Marinade: Combine the finely minced garlic, chopped fresh rosemary, thyme, and parsley with olive oil, apple cider vinegar, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Stir well to blend the flavors.
  2. Marinate the Chicken: Generously coat the chicken breasts with the prepared herb marinade. Let them rest for at least 20 minutes at room temperature or refrigerate for up to 2 hours to enhance flavor absorption.
  3. Cook the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a splash of olive oil. Cook the marinated chicken breasts for 6 to 7 minutes on each side until they develop a golden crust and are cooked through with a juicy interior.
  4. Boil and Mash Potatoes: Place the peeled and chopped potatoes in salted boiling water and cook until fork-tender, about 15 to 20 minutes. Drain well, then mash with plant-based butter, plant-based milk, salt, and pepper until creamy. Add the natural gelling agent if desired for extra silkiness.
  5. Plate and Serve: Arrange the cooked chicken breasts beside a generous scoop of mashed potatoes. Drizzle any leftover herb-infused pan juices over the chicken. Garnish with fresh herbs and a sprinkle of cracked black pepper.

Notes

  • Use fresh rosemary, thyme, and parsley for the best flavor.
  • Bring chicken to room temperature before cooking for even doneness.
  • Cook potatoes thoroughly to achieve creamy mashed potatoes.
  • Use a potato masher or ricer for smooth mashed potatoes.
  • Let cooked chicken rest a few minutes before slicing to lock in juices.
