To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients:

For the Parmesan Chicken:

- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup of breadcrumbs
- 1 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon of dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil

For the Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes:

- 4 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1 head of garlic
- 1/2 cup of milk
- 1/4 cup of butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
To start, preheat your oven to 400°F. Cut the top off the head of garlic and drizzle with olive oil. Wrap the garlic in foil and roast in the oven for 30-40 minutes until soft and fragrant.
While the garlic is roasting, prepare the chicken. In a shallow dish, mix together the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. In another shallow dish, beat the eggs. Dip each chicken breast in the egg mixture, then coat in the breadcrumb mixture.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
For the mashed potatoes, boil the cubed potatoes in a pot of salted water until tender. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins and add them to the pot along with the milk, butter, salt, and pepper. Mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy.
To serve, place a chicken breast on each plate and spoon the mashed potatoes alongside. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
This dish is a perfect combination of crispy and creamy textures with a savory and garlicky flavor. It is a great comfort food that is easy to make and perfect for a family dinner or a special occasion.
