Ingredients

  • 2 lbs potatoes

  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 chicken thighs boneless, skinless
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Peel and chop the potatoes, then place them in a large pot of cold, salted water.
  • Bring the pot to a boil and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  • Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot, then add in butter, milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  • Mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy, adjusting milk as needed for consistency.
  • While the potatoes cool slightly, prepare the chicken by coating it in olive oil, then dredging it in the breadcrumb mixture and Parmesan.
  • Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through.
  • In a baking dish, layer the creamy mashed potatoes, followed by the crispy chicken on top.
  • Sprinkle any remaining breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese over the top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, until heated through and the top is golden brown.
  • Let it rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the layers to set.
