Instructions
Honey Balsamic Chicken
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Whisk the marinade until well combined.
- Add olive oil to a 9x13 baking dish, then add chicken and pour the marinade in, using a spoon to distribute evenly if needed.
- Bake for 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
- While the chicken cooks, prepare the mashed potatoes.
Mashed Potatoes
- Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil.
- (While the water boils, you can prepare the broccolini.)
- Add the potatoes and cook until fork tender.
- Once cooked, strain and add back to pot. Then use a potato masher (or fork/spoon) to mash well.
- Add remaining ingredients and mix until combined and creamy.
Broccolini
- Heat a medium pan over medium heat.
- Add ghee and olive oil and once hot, add broccolini. Cover for ~5 minutes or until the broccolini is steamed and slightly charred, making sure to stir every few minutes. Remove from burner once tender.
