A delicious recipe for juicy chicken breasts infused with fragrant herbs, perfect for family dinners or entertaining guests.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 2 pounds russet potatoes
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

Instructions

  1. Begin by patting the chicken breasts dry and seasoning them liberally with salt and pepper on both sides.
  2. Mix the minced garlic, chopped parsley, and thyme leaves in a small bowl.
  3. Rub this herb mixture all over the chicken breasts, pressing gently so it adheres well.
  4. Allow the chicken to rest for 10 minutes at room temperature.
  5. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  6. Carefully place the chicken breasts in the skillet.
  7. Sear the chicken without moving them for 5-6 minutes until a deep golden-brown crust forms.
  8. Flip the chicken and cook for another 5-6 minutes.
  9. Add butter to the skillet and baste the chicken with the melted butter and pan juices.
  10. Transfer the chicken to a plate when the internal temperature reaches 165°F and tent with foil.
  11. Add brown sugar and balsamic vinegar to the skillet, stirring for about 2 minutes until the sugar dissolves.
  12. Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  13. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes until the sauce reduces by half and thickens slightly.
  14. Peel and cut the russet potatoes into chunks and cover them with cold, salted water in a large pot.
  15. Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then simmer for 15-20 minutes until the potatoes are fork-tender.
  16. Drain thoroughly and return them to the pot.
  17. Add butter and heavy cream to the drained potatoes and mash until smooth and creamy.

Notes

Allow the chicken to rest after cooking to rediscover its juices for maximum tenderness.
