Ingredients
For the Chicken
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

For the Mashed Potatoes
- 2 pounds potatoes, peeled and quartered

Instructions
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and add the chicken. Cook until browned on both sides and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side. Remove chicken and set aside.

- Serve the chicken with garlic gravy over the cheesy mashed potatoes. Garnish with fresh parsley.
Notes
