Golden, crispy garlic chicken paired with velvety, buttery mashed potatoes for a comforting and crowd-pleasing meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (pounded to an even thickness)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs (beaten)
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs (Panko works best for extra crunch)
  • 4–5 garlic cloves (minced finely)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 pounds Russet potatoes (peeled and diced)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (warm)
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: Chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Start by pounding the chicken breasts to an even thickness for even cooking. Season both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
  2. Set up three bowls—one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with minced garlic.
  3. Dip each chicken breast into the flour, shaking off excess, then into the egg, and finally into the breadcrumb mixture. Press gently to ensure the coating sticks.
  4. Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Remove and set aside.
  5. While the chicken is cooking, boil the diced potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 15 minutes.
  6. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add butter, heavy cream, sour cream, and season with salt and pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
  7. Serve the crispy garlic chicken hot with a generous scoop of mashed potatoes. Garnish with parsley if desired.

Notes

[‘Use Panko breadcrumbs for the crispiest texture.’, ‘Cook chicken in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.’, ‘Warm the cream before adding it to the potatoes for a smoother texture.’, ‘Start boiling the potatoes while preparing the chicken to save time.’]
