Notes

For more flavor, let the chicken marinate for a few hours or overnight. Be careful not to overcook the chicken to keep it juicy. Use a potato masher or ricer for smoother mashed potatoes. Add herbs like rosemary or thyme to the potatoes for an extra kick. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. You can freeze the chicken and mashed potatoes in separate containers for later use.
