Dijon terriaki chicken and garlic mashed red potatoes


I found this chicken recipe online and thought it sounded interesting (and easy). It came out SO good - I loved it and so did my husband. The combo of ingredients sounds weird, and I was hesitant to try it because I'm not a big dijon fan, but the combination of all the different flavors ended up being great. The red mashed potatoes were pretty standard, but a great side to accompany this chicken. Yum!

Ingredients for chicken:
  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • 4 ounces dijon mustars
  • 1/4 cup terriaki suace
  • 1/4 cup bacon bits
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan
Directions:
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Pour 2 tbsp terriaki sauce into a 9x13 baking dish to coat bottom,
  • Laye chicken in baking dish, slather with mustard. Pour remaining terriaki eveny over chicken. Top with bacon bots, then parmesan.
  • Bake 30 minutes.
Ingredients for garlic mashed red potatoes (serves two):
  • 8 red potatoes, cubed
  • 2 tsp crushed garlic
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • salt, pepper (to taste)
Directions:
  • Place cubed potatoes in a large pot, pour enough water over to cover.
  • Add 1 tsp crushed garlic to water.
  • Bring to a boil, cook at a boil for an additional 10-15 minutes until potatoes are easily pierced.
  • Drain potatoes, return to pot.
  • Add butter, mash with a course masher (or mixer if you prefer them creamier).
  • When butter is melted, add milk and continue to mash until they are at your desired consistency.
  • Add garlic powder and salt & pepper to taste.
