Creamy Garlic Chicken with Mashed Potatoes

Boil potatoes in salted water for 15–20 minutes until fork-tender.

Drain and mash with butter, milk, salt, pepper, and Parmesan (if using). Keep warm.

2. Cook the Chicken

Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and paprika.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Sear the chicken 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove from skillet and set aside.

3. Make the Creamy Garlic Sauce

In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté garlic until fragrant (about 30 seconds).

Add chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits.

Stir in heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning. Simmer for 2–3 minutes until thickened.

4. Combine & Serve

Return chicken to the skillet and let it simmer in the sauce for 5 minutes, until heated through.

Serve over mashed potatoes, spooning extra sauce on top.

Garnish with fresh parsley.
