Instructions

Preheat the grill or grill pan over medium heat.
Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
Grill the chicken for 6–8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
While the chicken grills, place the cubed potatoes in a large pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Cook for about 15–20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Drain the potatoes and mash them with butter, milk, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Add the broccoli, carrots, and zucchini, and sauté with Italian seasoning for 6–8 minutes or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Plate the mashed potatoes, top with grilled chicken slices, and serve with the sautéed veggies on the side.

Notes

Feel free to swap the veggies for other seasonal options like green beans, bell peppers, or asparagus.

Add shredded cheddar or parmesan to the mashed potatoes for a cheesy variation.

If you like spice, add cayenne pepper to the chicken rub or veggies.

This dish can be prepped ahead, with grilled chicken and sautéed veggies stored separately in the fridge for up to 3 days.

For reheating, ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
