Garlic herb chicken with mash poatotes and fresh poached carrots

this dish is simple and easy to make.

here is what you will need.

2 chicken breast(large)
cilantro ( chopped 1 tbs)
butter (1tbs)
salt and pepper to taste
3 potatoes
2 cloves garlic depending on size
scallions
cream or milk
carrots.


lets begin.

to start get your potatoes cut and in a pot of boiling water. be sure to salt the water.
while that's working butterfly both of your chicken breast. some times you can get a good 8-10oz chicken breast. crazy right. season with salt and pepper, and place in a buttered pan on med high heat to brown. breast side down.
when you have a good over all brown color on one side flip over and turn the heart down to a med low. that way you don't burn the outside and your chicken cooks evenly. as you do this add the cilantro and 1 clove of garlic add more butter if necessary. it will make your chicken juicy and delicious. your chicken should be done in about 7-10mins if you have a thermometer see if your chicken has reached 165. if so your good and you can set them aside covered while you finish potatoes. but first in another small pot put your carrots on to boil with a little salt and pepper and butter. once there fork tender you can serve. take about 10mins. OK mash time, i like to use a hand mixer to get the best possible result, so after drain the water out.place back on the stove on med heat and add mix and whisk at the same time. then add butter( i feel like paula deen ) and scallions until you get the desired thickness. if its to thick use more cream. make sure to taste and adjust seasoning. i always add a bit of S&P at the end to make sure its super good.
