Southern-Spiced Chicken
with Buttermilk Mashed Potatoes & Green Beans
35 MIN
2 Servings
From the Test Kitchen
This simple dish gets a sophisticated lift from a flavorful pan sauce made with whole grain dijon, brown sugar, and demi-glace (simply reduced chicken stock), which lends rich, complex flavor to our seared chicken.

instructions
1
Prepare the ingredients
Fill a medium pot 3/4 of the way up with salted water; cover and heat to boiling on high. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Medium dice the potatoes. Peel and roughly chop 2 cloves of garlic.
2
Cook & mash the potatoes
Add the diced potatoes to the pot of boiling water and cook 16 to 18 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork. Turn off the heat. Drain thoroughly and return to the pot. Add the buttermilk and 2 teaspoons of olive oil. Using a fork or potato masher, mash to your desired consistency. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. Cover to keep warm.
3
Prepare & cook the green beans
Meanwhile, cut off and discard the stem ends of the green beans. In a medium pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the prepared green beans; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 3 to 4 minutes, or until lightly browned. Add 2 tablespoons of water (carefully, as the liquid may splatter). Cook, stirring occasionally, 1 to 2 minutes, or until the water has cooked off. Add the chopped garlic; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 minutes, or until softened. Transfer to a bowl and cover with foil to keep warm. Rinse and wipe out the pan.
4
Cook the steak
Pat the steaks dry with paper towels; season on all sides with salt, pepper, and enough of the spice blend to coat (you may have extra). In the same pan, heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the seasoned steaks. Cook, turning occasionally, 8 to 10 minutes for medium-rare, or until cooked to your desired degree of doneness.* Leaving any browned bits (or fond) in the pan, transfer to a cutting board and let rest at least 5 minutes.
* An instant-read thermometer should register 145°F.
5
Make the pan sauce & serve your dish:
To the pan of reserved fond, add the demi-glace (carefully, as the liquid may splatter), mustard, sugar, and 1/4 cup of water. Cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 minutes, or until the sauce is thickened. Turn off the heat. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. Slice the rested steaks crosswise. Serve the sliced steaks with the mashed potatoes and cooked green beans. Top the steaks with the pan sauce. Enjoy!
