Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 6 pieces bone-in chicken thighs
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 5 cloves garlic minced
- 2 cups russet potatoes peeled and cut into chunks
- 0.5 cup whole milk warmed
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped for garnish
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add potatoes and cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- While potatoes cook, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper.
- Add chicken thighs to the skillet and sear until golden brown on both sides, about 6-7 minutes per side. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- Lower heat to medium, add butter and garlic to the skillet. Cook until garlic is fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
- Return chicken thighs to the skillet, spooning garlic butter over them. Cover and cook for another 10 minutes until cooked through.
- Mash cooked potatoes with warmed milk, remaining butter, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
- Serve the garlic butter chicken thighs on a bed of mashed potatoes, garnished with fresh parsley.
Notes
For extra flavor, add a squeeze of lemon juice before serving. Leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to 3 days.
