I just made this tonight. It's fabulous and pretty easy. Basically you stuff the mashed potatos under the skin of the chicken breast and cook.
Ingredients
2 baking potatoes (about 8 ounces each), peeled and cut into 1-inch chunk
1/4 cup milk
4 tablespoons butter
Grated peel and juice of 1 lemon
Salt and pepper
4 bone-in chicken breast halves (about 3 1/2 pounds total)
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
1. Preheat the oven to 400°. In a medium saucepan, bring the potatoes and enough cold water to cover to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15 minutes. Drain, then return the potatoes to the pot. Add the milk, butter and lemon peel and mash until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer the potatoes to a work surface, flatten into an even round and cut into quarters.
2. Run your fingers under the skin of each chicken breast to separate it from the meat. Place one-quarter of the potatoes under the skin of each breast, gently pressing to evenly distribute. Place the stuffed chicken in a roasting pan. Drizzle with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake until tender and the juices run clear, about 40 minutes.
3. Transfer the chicken to a plate. Stir the lemon juice, parsley and remaining 2 tablespoons butter into the pan juices, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Spoon the sauce over the chicken and serve.
I served with corn and broccoli.

Yum!!
did you prefer it to having the mashed potatoes on the side??
1Damn.
2Ahh, that looks good.
3mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm that looks really good.
4yummy yummy yummy!
5mmmmmm....that looks great!
6I would be afraid the chicken would dry out or something, it looks delish though!
7Hey, that sounds pretty good!
8Karma - I did prefer it to having it on the side. The potatos were rose a bit and were nice and baked.
Lauren - because it was bone-in chicken it didn't dry out. I find skinless/boneless dries out but not bone-in.
9Wow, that looks really interesting.
I find the same with chicken, without the bone dries out easier.

12Sounds and looks delish! Thanks for the post
Yum!
13This looks yummy, I'm going to try it. My MIL makes chicken that she coats in instant potatoes, it is better than it sounds. I think your idea will be even better.
14I added some garlic to the mashed potatoes instead of lemon peel. It was really good and the family ate it all up. I bet this would also be good with stuffing instead of mashed potatoes. I might try that next.
15aaaaw, what if i don't eat chicken skin (health reasons) should i make this and peel off the skin?
16but this sounds sooooooooooo yummy, love that it has lemon in it. thanks for sharing this fab idea
haze1nut - we peeled away most of the skin and it was still very tasty.
17That looks so tasty. I love experimenting with food. I'm definitely going to try this one at home.
18Oh my goodness! My daughter will be in heaven.
