I swear when my hubby and ate this, we stuffed ourselves silly. We both needed help to get in bed!

🥔 Sidekick #1: Buttered Herb Potatoes

Ingredients:

  • 1.5 lbs baby potatoes, halved
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon thyme
  • ½ teaspoon rosemary
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh chives or parsley, for garnish

Method:

  1. Parboil the Potatoes: Place potatoes in a pot of salted water. Boil for about 10 minutes until just fork-tender. Drain well.
  2. Sauté for Crispiness: In a large skillet, melt butter with olive oil. Add herbs and garlic powder.
  3. Golden Finish: Add potatoes cut-side down. Let them brown undisturbed for 3–5 minutes. Flip and cook for another few minutes until crispy on both sides.
  4. Season and Garnish: Season with salt and pepper, then sprinkle with fresh herbs.

🍞 Sidekick #2: Golden Garlic Bread

Ingredients:

  • 1 baguette or Italian loaf
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
  • Pinch of salt

Method:

  1. Prep the Bread: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice bread lengthwise.
  2. Garlic Butter: Mix butter, garlic, parsley, salt, and cheese (if using). Spread generously over the bread halves.
  3. Bake: Place on a baking tray and bake for 10 minutes. For extra crunch, broil for 1–2 minutes at the end.

🥄 Assembly and Serving Tips:

  • Serve the chicken breasts smothered in sauce with potatoes on the side.
  • Don’t skimp on garlic bread—it’s your best friend when scooping up leftover sauce.
  • Pour yourself a glass of chilled white wine or even a fizzy lemonade to cut through the richness.
  • Add a green side salad if you’re trying to pretend you’re being healthy.
