Baked Herb-Crusted Chicken with Garlic Mashed Potatoes

Ingredients

For the Chicken:

- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup olive oil

For the Mashed Potatoes:

- 2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and quartered
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Prepare the Chicken Coating
In a shallow bowl, combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, thyme, basil, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. In another bowl, beat the eggs.

3. Bread the Chicken
Dip each chicken breast into the egg mixture, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing it onto the chicken to adhere.

4. Bake the Chicken
Arrange the coated chicken breasts on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the crust is golden brown.

5. Boil the Potatoes
While the chicken is baking, place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and let simmer for 15 minutes, or until potatoes are fork-tender.

6. Prepare the Garlic Mashed Potatoes
Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the butter, heavy cream, and minced garlic. Mash until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

7. Serve
Plate the herb-crusted chicken alongside a generous spoonful of garlic mashed potatoes. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
