4 tbsp unsalted butter
2 cups mashed potatoes (homemade or pre-made)
2 tbsp fresh parsley or thyme, chopped

Instructions

Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
In a skillet over medium-high heat, melt 1 tbsp butter. Sear the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the chicken and sauté minced garlic in the same skillet for about 30 seconds.
Deglaze the pan with chicken broth, scraping up any flavorful bits.

Return the chicken to the skillet to soak up the sauce for an additional minute before serving over mashed potatoes.
Garnish with fresh herbs.
