recipe

  • Step 1
    Peel & cube the potatoes. Cook them in a pot of salted boiling water for 10-15 min, or until fork-tender.
  • Step 2
    Melt half the butter in a pan over medium-high heat. Dredge the chicken in flour on both sides.
  • Step 3
    Add the dredged chicken to the pan. Season with salt & pepper. Cook for 2 min, while spooning the melted butter over the chicken.
  • Step 4
    Flip over the chicken. Reduce the heat to medium. Keep basting the chicken, until it's cooked through.
  • Step 5
    Drain the potatoes. Add them to a bowl with salt, pepper & a pinch of ground nutmeg (optional).
  • Step 6
    Add the milk & the rest of the butter to the potatoes. Mash with a potato masher or fork until smooth & creamy.
  • Step 7
    Slice the chicken. Serve it alongside the mashed potatoes. Be sure to drizzle any remaining butter sauce over top. Enjoy!
