Zesty Chicken with Purple Mashed Potatoes
- 4 medium Rocky Mountain Gourmet Purple Majesty Potatoes, peeled and quartered (about 2 pounds)
- 1/2 cup low-fat milk, warmed
- 4 boneless chicken breast halves
- 2 teaspoons Cajun blackening spice
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 roasted red peppers, diced into 1/2-inch pieces
- 2 medium tomatoes, seeded and chopped
- 2 teaspoons fresh basil, chopped
- 2 teaspoons green onion, chopped
For Potatoes: place potatoes in saucepan; add enough cold water to cover. Bring to a simmer and cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain well; mash with a potato masher. Add milk and season to taste.
For Chicken: while potatoes are cooking, season chicken breasts with Cajun spice, salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet and brown the chicken on both sides. Add red pepper, tomatoes, basil and green onion to skillet. Cover and cook over medium-low heat until chicken breasts are cooked through, about 20 minutes.
Spoon a quarter of the mashed potatoes on each plate, place a chicken breast on top and spoon vegetables over top. Makes 4 servings.
