Preparation Instructions

  • Season chicken breasts with ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  • Boil potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain, then mash with milk, 2 tablespoons butter, and remaining salt and pepper until smooth. Keep warm.
  • In a saucepan, cook carrots in boiling water for 8 minutes until tender. Drain, then toss with brown sugar and 1 tablespoon butter over low heat until glazed, about 3 minutes.
  • In the same skillet used for chicken, melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in chicken broth and bring to a simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in heavy cream and season to taste.
  • Serve chicken over mashed potatoes with glazed carrots on the side, drizzled with gravy.
