Lemon garlic chicken in a white wine reduction with a red potato smash
You will need:
- 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
- 1 tsp. paprika
- salt and pepper to taste
- 4 tbsp. margarine or butter
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp. lemon juice
- ½ tsp. grated lemon zest
- ½ cup white wine
- 8 red potatoes
- ¾ cup milk
Instructions:
Chicken
- Sprinkle chicken with paprika, salt and pepper.
- Melt 2 tbsp. butter or margarine in a large skillet over medium-high heat, also, preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Once the pan is hot, add the chicken to the skillet.
- Sauté the chicken for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until it begins to brown slightly.
- Remove the chicken and place on a baking sheet. Pour half of the lemon juice over the chicken and then place the sheet in the oven and set the timer for 5 minutes.
- Add the garlic to the hot pan and sauté until it begins to brown (about 1-2 minutes).
- Add the white wine to the pan to de-glace.
- After about a minute or two, add the lemon zest to the pan. Reduce by half, then cover and set aside.
- By now the timer should have gone off. Use the remaining lemon juice to pour over the chicken once again and set the timer for another 5 minutes.
- Once the chicken is done (it may need another minute or two depending on how thick they are), place over potatoes and top with the wine sauce!
- Garnish with some lemon-twists and a few sprigs of fresh herbs like sage or basil
Potatoes
- Clean and cube potatoes
- Place the potatoes in a pot of boiling water
- Let boil until soft
- Remove from heat and strain water
- Place the potatoes in a mixing bowl
- Add milk and remaining butter
- Either by hand or electric mixer smash to desired consistency.
- Salt and pepper to taste
Enjoy!
