What you have

• 2 chicken breasts
• 1 cup flour
• 1 lb green beans
• 2 large potatoes

Method

1. Step 1: Boil the potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and mash with truffle oil, salt, and pepper to taste.
2. Step 2: In a bowl, combine flour with chopped fresh herbs, salt, and pepper. Dredge each chicken breast in the herb flour mixture.
3. Step 3: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken breasts for 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and let rest.
4. Step 4: In the same skillet, add minced garlic and green beans. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until beans are tender-crisp. Season with salt and pepper.
5. Step 5: Plate the dish by placing the truffle mashed potatoes in the center, top with the herb-crusted chicken, and arrange the garlic green beans artfully on the side.
