Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. Season both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 5–6 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from skillet and cover with foil.
  3. Lower heat to medium, add butter to the skillet. Once melted, stir in minced garlic, cooking for 30-60 seconds.
  4. Sprinkle flour over the butter and garlic, stirring to form a roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden.
  5. Gradually whisk in chicken broth, stirring until smooth. Simmer for 3-5 minutes until thickened. Add cream if using.
  6. In a pot, boil cubed potatoes in salted water for 12-15 minutes until fork-tender.
  7. Drain potatoes, return to pot, and add butter and milk. Mash until creamy, then mix in cheddar cheese. Season with salt and pepper.
  8. To serve, scoop cheesy mashed potatoes onto a plate, top with chicken, and spoon gravy over. Garnish with parsley or chives.
