Ingredients:

2 Chicken Breasts
1 cup Carrot; peeled and chopped
1 cup Button Mushrooms; quartered
1 cup Frozen Peas
2 Tablespoons Butter
½ cup Onion; chopped
3 cloves Garlic; minced
3 Tablespoons Flour
3 cups Chicken Broth
1 cup Half & Half
1 Tablespoon Garlic Powder
1 teaspoon Italian Herbs
Salt and Pepper to taste
3 cups leftover Mashed Potatoes
2 large Biscuits

Instructions:

Flatten the Chicken: Wrap the chicken breasts in plastic wrap and use a meat tenderizer to flatten them to approximately 1/2” thickness. Season the chicken with salt and pepper on both sides.
Steam the Vegetables: In a pot with 1” water and a steamer basket, bring the water to a boil. Add the chopped carrots and steam until tender. Then add the quartered mushrooms and frozen peas to the steamer basket. Cover and remove from the heat.
Sear the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the butter. Sear the flattened chicken breasts until they are fully cooked and golden brown on both sides. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside.
Saute the Onions and Garlic: In the same skillet, add the chopped onions and sauté until tender. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant.
Create the Gravy Base: Sprinkle the flour over the onions and garlic and toss until the vegetables are evenly coated with flour.
Pour the chicken broth and half & half into the skillet. Add the garlic powder, Italian herbs, salt, and pepper. Whisk the mixture until the gravy thickens.
Combine Chicken and Vegetables: Add the seared chicken and steamed vegetables to the skillet with the gravy. Stir to combine, making sure the chicken and vegetables are coated with the creamy sauce. Taste and adjust seasonings as desired.
Cover the skillet and let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
To serve, place a generous scoop of mashed potatoes on a plate. Top the mashed potatoes with the chicken, vegetables, and gravy mixture. Serve with freshly baked biscuits on the side.
