Preparation Instructions
  1. Season the chicken with salt and black pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and keep warm.
  2. Reduce heat, add butter and garlic to the skillet. Sauté garlic for about 30-60 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Sprinkle flour into the skillet, creating a roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes, then whisk in chicken broth gradually until smooth. Simmer until thickened, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. In a pot, boil salted water and cook the cubed Yukon Gold potatoes for 12-15 minutes until fork-tender. Drain and let steam to dry.
  5. In the pot, add butter and milk to the potatoes, mashing until smooth. Stir in cheddar cheese and season to taste.
  6. Serve mashed potatoes with sliced chicken and garlic gravy on top. Garnish with parsley or chives.
