Baked Chicken and Mashed Potatoes

Another Thursday, still wishing it was another Sunday.  So moving on to the good news of tonight.  Tonight’s chef is Carly!  She will be making baked chicken and mashed potatoes with butter, salt, and/or gravy.   So lets start cooking!

Chicken recipe:

10 pieces of chicken

A small bowl of water

A box of shake and bake

Mashed Potatoes recipe:

8 Potatoes

Milk

Garlic Powder

Butter

Salt and Pepper

Gravy

Directions:

First we started with the chicken.  Carly heated the oven to 400F, and then she cut the fat from the chicken.  After that she dipped the chicken into a bowl of water, then placed the chicken into the coating mix bag.  Now with the chicken in the bag she shakes the bag until the chicken is fully coated.  She repeated this step several times until all the chicken pieces were covered.  Then she placed the covered chicken into a 13x9-inch pan and cooks it for 20mins or until done.

         Now we move onto the potatoes.  First Carly skinned and cut the potatoes into small pieces and boiled the potatoes until they were smooshy.  While waiting for the potatoes to cook, Carly heats up the gravy to medium heat on the stove and waits until its warm.  After the potatoes are ready Carly drains the water and she puts the them into a bowl and adds the garlic powder into the bowl and then she mix them with a hand mixer.  While mixing the potatoes she adds milk to soften the potatoes.

        

After awhile of waiting the chickens, the potatoes, and the gravy are ready to eat.  Everyone gets a piece and has the option to add gravy, butter, salt, or pepper to their potatoes or not.  Tonight’s meal smells good and looks good enough to eat.  The chicken was okay but I did not like the mashed potatoes that much.  Everyone else enjoyed their meal so much they were up for seconds in a flash.  So waiters check please!
