Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. Place 6 whole garlic cloves on a baking sheet, drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil, and roast for 20 minutes until soft and fragrant.
2. Step 2: Meanwhile, boil 3 large peeled and quartered russet potatoes in salted water (1 tsp salt) for 15-20 minutes until fork-tender.
3. Step 3: While potatoes cook, prepare the chicken: season 4 chicken breasts with 3/4 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Dredge each breast first in 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, then dip into 2 beaten eggs, and finally coat with 1 cup grated parmesan cheese.
4. Step 4: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the parmesan-crusted chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temp 165°F).
5. Step 5: Drain potatoes and mash with 3 tbsp unsalted butter, 1/2 cup whole milk, roasted garlic cloves (squeezed out of skins), and remaining 1/2 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper until creamy and smooth.
6. Step 6: Serve the parmesan-crusted chicken breasts atop a bed of roasted garlic mashed potatoes, garnished with 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley.
