Garlic Chicken Recipes | How to make Mustard Mash

Ingredients

  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and black pepper
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 50g butter
  • 400g ready-made mashed potato
  • 3 tbsp grainy mustard
  • 4 spring onions, roughly chopped
  • 160g kale, roughly chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely grated or crushed
  • 2 tbsp finely chopped flat leaf parsley

Method

  1. Lay the chicken breasts onto a sheet of cling film, then lay a second sheet over the top. Using a rolling pin, lightly bash the chicken until it is about 2cm thick all over – this helps it cook evenly in the pan.

  2. Season the chicken with salt and black pepper. Heat a large frying pan until medium hot. Add a little of the olive oil, 15g butter and the chicken breasts and fry on each side for 4-5 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.

  3. Meanwhile, heat the mashed potato according to pack instructions, then stir in the grainy mustard and spring onions and beat until smooth.

  4. Bring enough water to cover the pan by 5cm of water and bring to the boil, add the kale and simmer for 2-3 minutes until tender then drain and return to the pan.

  5. Remove the chicken from the frying pan and set aside. Add the butter to the pan and heat until melted, stirring up all the cooking juices from the bottom of the pan. Stir in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds then add the parsley and remove from the heat. Season with salt and black pepper.

  6. Divide the mash and kale between serving plates, then top with the chicken breast. Pour the garlic butter over the chicken and serve straightaway.
