Chicken with Mashed Potatoes and Gravy
Chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy is a comforting main course where boneless chicken breast is cooked with chicken stock and served alongside creamy mashed russet potatoes. The TM7 grates Parmesan, grinds peppercorns and emulsifies a silky gravy, so every component comes together in one appliance with restaurant-quality consistency and minimal washing up.
About this recipe
Chicken with Mashed Potatoes and Gravy Thermomix TM7 is the ultimate comfort food recipe for a quick weeknight dinner that tastes like it took hours. In this all-in-one kitchen machine, russet potatoes are steamed to fork-tenderness, then whipped with plain Greek yogurt and grated Parmesan into an irresistibly creamy mash, while the chicken breast fillets absorb the savoury depth of chicken stock and tomato paste. What makes this version special is the gravy: the TM7 grinds whole peppercorns fresh for aromatic punch and emulsifies the sauce so it stays silky and never splits, just like a French bistro reduction. Panko bread crumbs and dried parsley add a golden, crunchy finishing touch that contrasts beautifully with the velvety potatoes. Whether you are searching for easy chicken recipes for the Thermomix or a family-friendly meal everyone will ask for again, this recipe delivers restaurant results with a fraction of the effort and washing up.
Preparation tips
- Pat the chicken breast fillets dry before seasoning so the ground peppercorns and panko crust adhere better, giving each fillet an even, golden coating rather than a patchy one.
- Warm the chicken stock before adding it to the gravy base; this helps the tomato paste and Parmesan melt evenly into a silky sauce without any clumping in the mixing bowl.
- For kid-friendly plates, serve the peppercorn gravy on the side and let children sprinkle their own dried parsley and panko over the mash, turning dinner into a fun build-your-own moment.
Recipe variations
- Lactose-free version: swap the plain Greek yogurt for a lactose-free alternative and omit the Parmesan or use a lactose-free hard cheese, keeping the mash just as creamy and the gravy perfectly emulsified.
- Festive winter variation: fold crispy fried shallots and fresh thyme into the mashed potatoes and add a splash of white wine to the chicken stock gravy for a holiday-worthy Sunday roast feeling.
