Garlic Herb Chicken with Mashed Potatoes and Glazed Carrots

Ingredients :
For the Garlic Herb Chicken

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

2 tbsp olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp dried thyme

1 tsp dried rosemary

1 tsp dried parsley

1/2 tsp paprika

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

1 tbsp fresh lemon juice

For the Mashed Potatoes

2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cubed

4 tbsp butter

1/2 cup milk

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp black pepper

For the Glazed Carrots

1 lb carrots, peeled and sliced

1 tbsp butter

1 tbsp honey

1/2 tsp dried thyme

1/4 tsp salt

For Garnish

2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Directions :

Place the potatoes in a large pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook for 15–20 minutes until fork-tender.
While the potatoes cook, combine olive oil, garlic, thyme, rosemary, parsley, paprika, salt, pepper, and lemon juice in a bowl.

Rub the mixture over the chicken breasts.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for 6–7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165Β°F (74Β°C).
Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes.

Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add butter, milk, salt, and pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.
In a separate skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add carrots, honey, thyme, and salt.

Cook for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the carrots are tender and lightly glazed.
Divide the mashed potatoes among serving plates.
Top with garlic herb chicken and serve alongside the glazed carrots.

Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.

Ultimate BBQ Chicken Breast Plate with Fries, Baby Potatoes & Creamy Slaw πŸ—πŸŸπŸ₯”

Prep time: 25 minutes
Marinating time: 30 minutes
Cooking time: 30 minutes
Servings: 4
Calories per serving: About 760

Ingredients

For the BBQ chicken

πŸ— 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
πŸ«’ 2 tbsp olive oil
πŸ… Β½ cup barbecue sauce
🍯 1 tbsp honey
πŸ§„ 2 garlic cloves, grated
🌢️ 1 tsp smoked paprika
πŸ§‚ 1 tsp salt
⚫ ½ tsp black pepper
🌿 2 tbsp chopped parsley, for garnish

For the fries and potatoes
10. 🍟 1 ½ lb / 680 g thick-cut fries, frozen or freshly cut
11. πŸ₯” 1 lb / 450 g baby potatoes, halved
12. πŸ«’ 1 tbsp olive oil
13. πŸ§‚ Β½ tsp salt
14. 🌢️ ½ tsp paprika

For the creamy slaw
15. πŸ₯¬ 3 cups shredded cabbage
16. πŸ₯• 1 small carrot, shredded
17. πŸ§… ΒΌ red onion, thinly sliced
18. πŸ₯„ β…“ cup mayonnaise
19. πŸ‹ 1 tbsp lemon juice
20. πŸ§‚ ΒΌ tsp salt
21. ⚫ ¼ tsp black pepper

Instructions
Marinate the chicken. Mix olive oil, barbecue sauce, honey, garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Coat the chicken breasts well and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Prepare the oven sides. Heat the oven to 425Β°F / 220Β°C. Toss the baby potatoes with olive oil, salt, and paprika, then place them on one side of a baking tray and spread the fries on the other side.
Bake the fries and potatoes. Roast for 25–30 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the fries are crisp and the baby potatoes are golden and tender.
Grill the chicken. Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high and lightly oil it. Grill the chicken for 4–5 minutes per side, then brush with extra barbecue sauce and cook 1–2 minutes more until glossy and lightly charred; Food Network gives a similar timing for grilled chicken breasts and recommends cooking to 165Β°F / 74Β°C.
Rest and slice. Transfer the chicken to a board and rest for 5 minutes before slicing thickly. Resting helps the juices settle, and the chicken should be fully cooked with no pink center.
Make the slaw. Toss cabbage, carrot, and red onion with mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Keep it creamy but still crisp, like the slaw shown on the plate.
Assemble the plate. Add sliced BBQ chicken to the plate, spoon extra sauce over the top, and garnish with parsley. Serve with fries, roasted baby potatoes, and creamy slaw.
Helpful Notes & Variations

For oven-baked chicken instead of grilling, roast the marinated breasts at 400Β°F / 200Β°C / 180Β°C fan for about 20–25 minutes, which matches BBC Good Food’s baked chicken breast guidance. Use a thermometer for accuracy; Serious Eats notes that 165Β°F is the simple safe minimum temperature rule for poultry, though lower-temperature methods require precise time control. For a spicier plate, add cayenne or chili flakes to the barbecue glaze.

Ultimate Grilled Chicken Plate with Sweet Potato Fries & Creamy Slaw πŸ—πŸ πŸ₯’

Prep time: 25 minutes
Cooking time: 30 minutes
Servings: 4
Calories: About 610 per serving

Ingredients
🍠 3 medium sweet potatoes, cut into thick fries
πŸ›’οΈ 2 tbsp olive oil, divided
πŸ§‚ 1Β½ tsp salt, divided
⚫ 1 tsp black pepper, divided
🌢️ ½ tsp paprika
πŸ§„ 1 tsp garlic powder
πŸ— 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
πŸ‹ 2 tbsp lemon juice
🌿 1 tsp dried oregano
🌿 1 tsp dried parsley, plus extra for garnish
🧈 1 tbsp melted butter or olive oil, for brushing
πŸ₯¬ 3 cups shredded cabbage
πŸ… 1 small tomato, diced
πŸ₯£ β…“ cup mayonnaise
πŸ‹ 1 tbsp lemon juice or vinegar
πŸ§‚ ΒΌ tsp salt
πŸ₯’ 1 cucumber, sliced into rounds
🌢️ ½ tsp red pepper flakes
πŸ›’οΈ 1 tsp olive oil, for the cucumber
Instructions
Heat the oven. Preheat the oven to 425Β°F / 220Β°C and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the sweet potato fries out well so they roast instead of steam.
Season the fries. Toss the sweet potatoes with 1Β½ tablespoons olive oil, Β½ teaspoon salt, Β½ teaspoon black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway, until tender inside and browned at the edges.
Season the chicken. Pat the chicken dry and rub with lemon juice, Β½ tablespoon olive oil, oregano, parsley, ΒΎ teaspoon salt, and Β½ teaspoon black pepper. Let it sit for 10 minutes while the fries begin roasting.
Cook the chicken. Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 5–7 minutes per side, brushing with melted butter or olive oil near the end, until golden with charred spots.
Check doneness and rest. The chicken is ready when the thickest part reaches 165Β°F / 74Β°C. Rest for 5 minutes, then slice into thick strips like the photo.
Make the creamy slaw. Mix shredded cabbage, diced tomato, mayonnaise, lemon juice or vinegar, and ΒΌ teaspoon salt. Chill until serving so it stays crisp and creamy.
Dress the cucumber. Toss cucumber slices with 1 teaspoon olive oil, a pinch of salt, and red pepper flakes. Keep them fresh and lightly dressed, not soaked.
Plate the meal. Arrange sliced grilled chicken, sweet potato fries, creamy slaw, and cucumber rounds on a plate. Sprinkle with extra parsley and serve warm.
Helpful Notes & Variations

For juicier chicken, pound the breasts to an even thickness before cooking. For crispier sweet potato fries, avoid crowding the pan and use two baking sheets if needed. The plate in the image shows grilled chicken, roasted sweet potato fries, creamy cabbage slaw with tomato, and spicy cucumber slices, so the recipe keeps those elements front and center.

Grill the chicken breasts. Cook over medium-high heat for 4–5 minutes per side, then brush with a little more barbecue sauce and cook briefly until sticky and charred in spots. The thickest part should reach 165Β°F / 74Β°C.
Slice and serve. Rest the chicken for 5 minutes, slice into thick strips, and drizzle with extra BBQ sauce. Plate with the fries, baby potatoes, slaw, and a sprinkle of parsley.
Helpful Notes & Variations

Pound very thick chicken breasts slightly so they cook evenly. Add a pinch of cayenne for heat or a little extra honey for a sweeter glaze. The chicken can also be cooked in a skillet, but keep the heat moderate so the BBQ sauce caramelizes without burning.
