Instructions

  1. Step 1: Season 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper on both sides.
  2. Step 2: Heat 3 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken breasts and sear for 5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through; remove chicken and set aside.
  3. Step 3: In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add 4 minced garlic cloves, sautéing for 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in 1/4 cup whiskey carefully, scraping the bottom of the pan to deglaze. Stir in 3 tbsp honey and cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
  4. Step 4: Return chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon the honey-whiskey glaze over them. Simmer for 2 minutes to meld flavors.
  5. Step 5: Meanwhile, place 2 lbs peeled and cubed russet potatoes in a pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook for 15 minutes until fork tender. Drain and mash with 4 tbsp butter and 1/2 cup whole milk until smooth and creamy.
  6. Step 6: Plate chicken over a bed of mashed potatoes and garnish with 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley.
