Lemon Garlic Chicken with Mashed Potatoes
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 pounds potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1/2 cup milk
- 4 tablespoons butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, 4 cloves minced garlic, 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice, 1 teaspoon lemon zest, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours.
- While the chicken is marinating, place the peeled and cubed potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot.
- Mash the potatoes with a potato masher or fork, then add 1/2 cup of milk and 4 tablespoons of butter. Continue mashing until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm.
- Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the excess marinade. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
- Serve the grilled lemon garlic chicken with the creamy mashed potatoes. Enjoy!
