Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 4 cups mashed potatoes
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper, then brown in butter in a skillet over medium heat until golden, about 4‑5 minutes per side; remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet add the remaining butter and minced garlic, sauté 30 seconds, sprinkle flour, stir to form a roux, then gradually whisk in chicken broth and simmer until thickened, about 3‑4 minutes.
- Stir in heavy cream, return the chicken to the skillet, and let simmer together for another 5 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
- Meanwhile, prepare the mashed potatoes, fold in shredded cheese and a pinch of salt until smooth.
- Plate the cheesy mashed potatoes, spoon the garlic gravy with chicken over the top, and serve immediately.
Notes
- For a lighter sauce
- replace half of the heavy cream with low‑fat milk. Use low‑sodium broth to control salt levels. Leftovers reheat well on the stovetop with a splash of broth.
