Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F. Rub the 2 chicken breasts with 1 tbsp olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place on a baking sheet and roast until cooked through, about 20 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    While chicken roasts, peel and quarter the 4 potatoes. Boil in salted water until fork-tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and return to pot.

  3. Step 3

    Add 2 tbsp butter and 1/4 cup milk to the potatoes. Mash until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper.

  4. Step 4

    Steam the 2 cups green beans until bright green and crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt.

  5. Step 5

    Serve the chicken alongside the mashed potatoes and green beans.
