Method
 

Preparation
  1. Season the chicken breasts or thighs generously with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
  2. In the same skillet, melt butter. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant (30-60 seconds). Stir in flour to create a roux, then gradually whisk in chicken broth, simmering for 5-7 minutes until thickened. Add heavy cream if using.
  3. While simmering the gravy, peel and cube Yukon Gold potatoes. Boil them in salted water for 12-15 minutes or until tender. Drain and let them steam for a minute to release moisture.
  4. Mash the potatoes with butter, milk, and shredded cheddar cheese until smooth and creamy. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  5. Serve by placing a portion of mashed potatoes on each plate, topping with sliced chicken, and drizzling with garlic gravy. Garnish with fresh parsley or chives if desired.
