    1

    Begin by peeling and chopping the potatoes into quarters. Place them in a large pot filled with cold water and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook for about 20 minutes or until fork-tender.

    2

    While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the chicken. Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. In a large skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of butter. Once melted, add the chicken breast and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked through and juices run clear. Remove from heat and let rest.

    3

    Once the potatoes are tender, drain them and return them to the pot. Add the garlic cloves (you can add them whole, they will be mashed) and the remaining butter. Mash the potatoes until smooth.

    Gradually mix in the milk until you achieve your desired creamy consistency. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Mix in parsley for a fresh touch.

    Slice the chicken and serve it over the garlic mashed potatoes. Enjoy your comforting meal!
