Ingredients
2 each Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
6 oz Asparagus
12 oz Potatoes
¼ cup Grated Romano Cheese
2 tbsp Mascarpone Cheese
1 tbsp Sour Cherry Spread
1 oz Salted Butter
2 tbsp Balsamic Vinegar
How to make it
1
Bring a medium pot of salted water (3/4 full) to a boil. Rinse and dry all produce. Cut the potatoes into a medium dice. Snap the woody ends off the asparagus; halve crosswise. In a bowl, combine the sour cherry spread, vinegar, and 1/4 cup water (1/2 cup for 4 servings); season.
2
Add the potatoes to the boiling water. Cook 16-20 minutes until fork-tender. Drain and return to the pot. Add the mascarpone; season. Mash to your desired consistency. Taste and season. Cover to keep warm.
3
Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a nonstick pan over medium-high. Add the halved asparagus. Cook stirring occasionally 5-7 minutes until lightly browned and fork-tender. Transfer to a bowl; taste and season. Cover with foil. Wipe out the pan.
4
Pat the chicken dry; season both sides with salt and pepper. Heat a drizzle of olive oil in the same pan over medium-high. Cook 6-9 minutes per side until browned and cooked through. Transfer to a board and slice crosswise. USDA minimum: 165°F for chicken. Leave the fond.
5
Heat the pan of fond over medium-high. Add the sauce (it may spatter). Cook stirring constantly and scraping up the fond 1-2 minutes until slightly thickened. For thicker cook longer; for thinner add water 1 tablespoon at a time. Remove from heat and stir in the butter. Taste and season. Serve the sliced chicken with the mashed potatoes and asparagus. Top with the sauce. Garnish with romano.
