  • 2 lbs Purple Majesty Potatoes, peeled and quartered

  • 1/2 cup low-fat milk, warmed

  • 4 boneless chicken breast halves

  • 2 tsp. Cajun blackening spice

  • Salt, to taste

  • Black pepper, to taste

For Potatoes: place potatoes in saucepan; add enough cold water to cover. Bring to a simmer and cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain well; mash with a potato masher. Add milk and season to taste.

For Chicken: while potatoes are cooking, season chicken breasts with Cajun spice, salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet and brown chicken on both sides. Add red pepper, tomatoes, basil and green onion to skillet. Cover and cook over medium-low heat until chicken breasts are cooked through, about 20 minutes. 

Spoon a quarter of the mashed potatoes on each plate, place a chicken breast on top and spoon vegetables over top. Makes 4 servings. Strohauer Farms exclusive recipe.
