Monday Night Meal

Grilled Chicken Breasts, Mashed Potatoes, Steamed Mixed Veggies - serves 3-4



6 Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts (serve 2 breasts, save 4 for later)

3-4 medium potatoes, any kind, scrubbed and cut into chunks

1/4 cup milk

2 Tbls. butter

Sour cream (a few tablespoons)

Chives

1 bag of frozen mixed vegetables (steam-in-bag kind)



1)Put the potatoes in a large pot of water and bring to a boil. Let them boil about 15-20 minutes, until very soft. Drain, return to pot immediately.

2)While potatoes are boiling, preheat the grill to medium-high or preheat a grill-pan/skillet to medium.

3)Cut the chicken breasts across the thickest part to make two thinner cutlet pieces, if preferred (I find that this makes grilling them easier and faster).

3)Grill over medium to medium-high heat for 5-6 minutes each side. (Or do the same in a grill-pan or skillet).

4)While the chicken is cooking, follow the instructions on the vegetable steamer bag (it should take about 5 minutes plus resting time).

5)Meanwhile, mash the potatoes in the pot with a potato masher. Add the milk and butter and mash in well. When serving the potatoes, top with a spoonful of sour cream and sprinkle with chives.
