Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
- 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and sear chicken until golden brown (about 5 minutes per side). Remove the chicken from the skillet.
- In the same skillet, sauté minced garlic for one minute. Add soy sauce and chicken broth; scrape up any browned bits. Return chicken to the skillet, cover, and let simmer on low for about 20 minutes.
- While the chicken simmers, boil cubed potatoes in salted water until fork-tender (15-20 minutes). Drain and mash with heavy cream, cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- Serve cheesy mashed potatoes topped with slices of chicken and drizzled with garlic gravy.
