Alice Springs Chicken with Garlic Mashed Potatoes
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup Dijon mustard
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1 cup shredded Colby Jack cheese
- 8 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 4 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/2 cup milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix together 1/2 cup Dijon mustard, 1/2 cup honey, 1 tablespoon canola oil, and 2 teaspoons lemon juice. Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the excess marinade. Grill the chicken for 6 to 7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked. During the last 2 minutes of grilling, place 1/4 cup of sliced mushrooms and 1/4 cup of shredded Colby Jack cheese on each chicken breast. Close the grill lid to melt the cheese.
- While the chicken is grilling, place the peeled and cubed potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot.
- In a small saucepan, melt 1/2 cup of butter over low heat. Add 4 cloves of minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly. Pour the garlic butter mixture over the potatoes. Add 1/2 cup of milk, salt, and pepper to taste. Mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy.
- Once the chicken is cooked and the cheese is melted, remove from the grill and top each chicken breast with 2 slices of cooked and crumbled bacon. Serve the Alice Springs Chicken with a generous portion of garlic mashed potatoes.
