Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 4 pieces Chicken Thighs Juicy and flavorful, choose firm, plump thighs for the best texture.
For the Glaze
  • 1/4 cup Honey Adds a luscious sweetness; maple syrup works for a vegan option.

  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Thyme Balances the sweetness with its aromatic flavor.
For the Garlic Mashed Potatoes
  • 4 cloves Garlic Infuses your mash with rich flavor.
  • 2 pounds Potatoes Use regular or sweet potatoes for a delightful mash.
  • 4 tablespoons Butter Creates a creamy texture; for dairy-free, use olive oil.
  • 1/2 cup Cream Adds richness; substitute with coconut milk for a lighter option.
Seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Pepper

Equipment

  • large skillet
  • small saucepan
  • Pot

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by patting your chicken thighs dry with a paper towel; season both sides with salt and pepper. Let sit for 15 minutes while prepping.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, add oil, then place chicken skin-side down. Sear for 5-7 minutes until golden brown.
  3. In a saucepan, combine blueberries, honey, and thyme. Simmer for 5-7 minutes until thickened and blueberries burst.
  4. Flip the chicken in the skillet, pour the glaze over, cover, and cook for 10-15 minutes, occasionally basting.
  5. Boil peeled potatoes for 15 minutes until tender. Mash with butter and cream, adding salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Remove chicken, let it rest for a few minutes before serving alongside creamy mashed potatoes. Garnish with thyme or blueberries.
