Garlic Herb Chicken & Carrot Plate

A comfort food dinner idea that’s juicy, cozy, and packed with flavor!

 Ingredients:

1 boneless skinless chicken thigh

2–3 whole carrots, peeled

¾ cup mashed potatoes (with skins)

1 tbsp olive oil or butter

1 tsp garlic (minced)

½ tsp Italian herbs

Salt and black pepper, to taste

Optional: fresh parsley for garnish

 How to Make It:

 Roast the Carrots:

Toss whole carrots in olive oil, Italian herbs, salt, and pepper. Roast at 400°F for 25–30 minutes until tender and golden. This is a bold roasted veggie upgrade for any plate.

 Cook the Chicken:

Season chicken with garlic, herbs, salt, and pepper. Pan-sear in butter over medium-high heat for 4–5 minutes per side until golden and juicy. This step gives you a flavor-packed protein highlight.

 Make the Mashed Potatoes:

Boil red or gold potatoes (skin on) until fork tender. Mash with butter, salt, and a splash of milk or cream for a creamy comfort food classic.

 Plate It Up:

Spoon mashed potatoes into your bowl, top with the herb chicken and roasted carrots. Spoon over any pan drippings for an extra-savory finishing touch.

 Garnish & Serve:

Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve warm. This cozy homestyle dinner plate is ready to steal the show!
