Make it healthier

Add peas, corn and/or diced carrotts to the mashed potatoes. To do this steam the desired vegetables and stir them through the potatoes after they have been mashed.

Make it healthier

Refrain from adding sour cream to the mash and use heart smart, salt reduced, low cholesterol margarine instead of butter.

Tip

Thick pieces of chicken can be hard to cook through evenly. Either choose thin chicken breast or flatten your chicken by hitting it with a fry-pan (be careful not to break the handle lol).
