Golden Chicken & Mash
with a side salad & toasted sunflower seeds
Did you know, Chef? If you use the meat juices from cooking to make a sauce and thicken it with cornstarch, it’s called a gravy. This mouthwatering sauce will be drizzled over a golden chicken breast, which is sided with silky-smooth potato mash and a simple salad. Finished with toasted sunflower seeds.
