Spanish Chicken with Potato Mash
Description
The first bite is an explosion of warmth and depth—juicy, well-seasoned chicken infused with bell pepper and tomato sauce, garlic, and herbs, balanced by the smooth, creamy mashed potatoes. The texture is beautifully contrasting—succulent, fall-apart chicken in a rich sauce meets fluffy, velvety mashed potatoes that soak up all the flavorful juices. The aroma is rich and inviting, with the scent of garlic, onions, bell pepper, and slow-cooked tomatoes filling the air.
