Ingredients

Scale

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs
6 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups chicken broth
¼ cup heavy cream (optional)
2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cubed
½ cup milk
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

Season the chicken with salt and pepper. In a skillet over medium-high heat, add oil and sear the chicken until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium. Melt butter, sauté minced garlic for about 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in flour to create a roux; cook for 1–2 minutes while stirring continuously.
Gradually whisk in chicken broth, simmering until thickened. Optionally stir in heavy cream and season with salt and pepper.
Boil cubed potatoes in salted water for 12–15 minutes until tender; drain well. Mash with butter, milk, and cheddar cheese until creamy. Season to taste.
Serve mashed potatoes topped with sliced chicken and garlic gravy.
