Instructions:

Step 1:

Preheat the oven to 375°F and spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Set to the side.

Step 2:

Poke the chicken vertically all along one side of the chicken. Season the chicken breasts liberally and arrange in a single layer in your prepared baking dish.

Step 3:

Start chopping your potatoes into small cubes and fill the pot until the water level is about 1 inch above the potatoes. Boil for about 20 minutes.

Step 4:

Stir together the mayonnaise and greek yogurt in a small bowl. Spread the mixture evenly over the tops of your chicken breast.

Step 5:

Finish with panko bread crumbs and parmesan cheese until evenly coated.

Note: You can skip the breadcrumbs for this recipe if you prefer and it will taste just as delicious!

Step 6:

Bake the chicken breasts on the middle rack of your oven until the cheese is melted and lightly golden brown. Bake for 25-30 minutes, once the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 160°F.

Step 7:

While the chicken is in the oven and the potatoes finish boiling. Go ahead and start boiling the water for your Broccoli as you separate the Broccoli Crowns.

Step 8:

Once the water has come to a boil, blanch the Broccoli for about 5 minutes.

Note: Cook for a few extra minutes if you prefer your Broccoli to be a bit softer

Step 9:

Check that the chicken is done and remove from the oven if ready or add time as needed.

Step 10:

As the chicken rests, drain off your potatoes but be sure to keep 1/4 cup of reserved water to add back in later.

Step 11:

Add the reserved water, butter, sour cream, and dry seasonings. Give it a good mash.

Step 12:

Finely chop a couple leaves of fresh basil and parsley. Mix most of the greens into your mashed potatoes but leave a small pile to sprinkle on your potatoes once plated.

Step 13:

Serve & enjoy!
