A taste of the holidays

I got some wonderful christmas dishes from my mom and what better way to use them for the first time then to do a dish I learned from her with a bit of a holiday feel :)

This dinner makes enough for 2

2 chicken breasts
italian seasoning
salt

3 medium sweet potatoes
2 small white potatoes
1/2 dl milk
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon black pepper

1 squash (diced)
1/2 red bell pepper (sliced)
6-8 mushrooms (diced)
1 small brokkoli

Start off by warming your oven to about 200degrees celsius. Peal and cut up the potatoes (cut white potatoes into smaller bites) and boil in some water until soft. Pour off the water when done and then start mashing the potatoes. Then add the milk, butter and pepper and mix well while keeping the pot on low heat.

While the potatoes are boiling you can cut up the veggies and fry them quickly on a pan with a little vegetable oil. Place in a heat proof oven pan.

 Season the chicken with italian spices and salt, and on the same frying pan you used for the veggies brown the chicken breast quickly. Place on top of the veggies and bake in oven for about 20-25min or until juices run clear.

 Serve with the mashed potatoes and some gravy (here I have used mushroom gravy). This dish takes under an hour to make and can be enjoyed for an everyday meal or fun to serve to guests. 

Btw, aren´t the christmas dishes pretty? :)

Bon Appetit!!
