Garlic, Herb, and Butter Chicken with Cheesy Mashed Potatoes

No matter what kind of chicken you decide to cook with, this recipe will work with it. I decided to use drumsticks, and it all turned out very good.



This recipe should be good for about 8 drumsticks, so adjust accordingly if you have more.

Ingredients:

1-1.5 stick of butter, softened
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp dried parsley
1tbsp dried rosemary
1 tbsp dried thyme

I started by putting about 1 tbsp of butter in a fry pan and putting the garlic in. I figured it would be a good idea to do as it should help release the flavors of the garlic into the butter mixture.
Preheat oven to about 350 and line broiler pan with aluminum foil.
Place chicken on pan. In a small bowl combine the butter, garlic, parsley, rosemary and thyme and mix together, then evenly spread a dollop of mixture on ll the chicken.
Cook in preheated oven, turning and frequently coating with herb/butter mixture, for about 45 minutes or until chicken juices run clear.

Cheesy Mashed Potatoes

Ingredients:
12 Potatoes, peeled
1.5 cups milk
1.5 cup mozzarella shredded cheese
1 tbsp Salt
1 tbsp Chives
1 tbsp Garlic Salt or powder

Boil the potatoes on the stove, and once they become soft, dump out the water. Next, add the milk ( you may need to add a little more, depending on how you like them.) Then, add the cheese, salt, chives, and garlic. Mash and mix all these together, and voila! Very good, and the cheese isn't too over bearing. If you like sour cream, and it sounds good to you, add about 1/2cup to 1 cup of it. That will make the potatoes even creamier.
