Parmesan Herb Crusted Chicken w/ Mashed Potatoes
Description
This dish begins with a Parmesan herb crust made by mixing egg, grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, and fresh chopped herbs such as basil, parsley, thyme, and oregano. The mixture is rolled out thinly before being placed atop pan-fried, seasoned chicken breasts, which are cooked until golden in a hot pan.
The chicken with its crust and surrounding halved cherry tomatoes is then baked in the oven at 180°C for 10–12 minutes until the crust turns golden brown and the chicken is firm to the touch. Meanwhile, the mashed potatoes are prepared by boiling cubed potatoes until tender, then mashing them with butter and milk for a smooth texture seasoned with salt.
The final plate balances the crispy, flavorful crusted chicken with the soft, creamy mashed potatoes and the roasted cherry tomatoes adding mild sweetness and moisture. This pairing creates a classic, substantial meal with contrasting textures and complementary flavors.

Mashed potatoes
- Clean and cut the potatoes into cubes and boil them in salted water. When they are cooked throughout, drain and crush them with a masher. Incorporate the butter, making sure it melts completely. Then add the milk and a pinch of salt if necessary, kneading until you get a fine and fluffy mash.
