Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup grape juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 pounds potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
- Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat, add chicken breasts, and brown both sides (about 4‑5 minutes per side).
- Push the chicken to the side, add minced garlic, cook until fragrant (≈30 seconds), then pour in chicken broth and grape juice, bring to a simmer, cover and cook 20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
- Meanwhile, boil peeled, cubed potatoes in salted water until fork‑tender (12‑15 minutes), drain, return to pot, add butter, shredded cheese, and milk, and mash until smooth.
- Remove chicken from the skillet, let rest briefly, optionally thicken the gravy, then serve sliced chicken topped with garlic gravy alongside the cheesy mashed potatoes.
Notes
- For extra richness
- finish the gravy with a pat of butter just before serving. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
