Step 1
Peel and chop the 4 potatoes into chunks. Boil in salted water until fork-tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and mash with 1 tbsp butter and a splash of the cooking water; season with salt and pepper.
Step 2
While potatoes cook, season the 2 chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high. Add chicken and cook until golden and cooked through, about 6 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
Step 3
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp butter. Add the 4 cups spinach and cook, stirring, until wilted, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 4
Pour the 1/2 cup chicken broth into the skillet, scraping up any browned bits. Simmer until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Return the chicken to the pan to coat in the sauce.
Step 5
Serve the chicken with the mashed potatoes and spinach, spooning the pan sauce over everything.
