This Chicken Mashed Potato Skillet is a comforting one-pan meal that's quick to whip up and perfect for a cozy dinner tonight!
Start by washing and peeling the potatoes. Cut them into chunks and place them into a pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook for about 15 minutes until fork-tender.
While the potatoes are cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cube the chicken breast and season with salt and pepper. Cook the chicken for about 5-7 minutes until browned and cooked through. Once done, remove from skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant.
When the potatoes are cooked, drain them and return to the pot. Add butter and milk, then mash until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Now, return the chicken to the skillet with the sautéed onion and garlic. Mix everything together and sprinkle cheddar cheese over the top. Let it melt for about 2-3 minutes.
Finally, serve the chicken mixture topped with the creamy mashed potatoes. Enjoy your comforting meal!
