Cook

Step 1. Cover Potato with cold water in a pot and add half the Salt. Bring to a boil, then simmer until a fork slips in easily, about 15 minutes; drain, return to the pot, cover and keep warm off the heat.
Step 2. Meanwhile, season Chicken Breast with the rest of the Salt and Black Pepper. Heat half the Olive Oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; brown the chicken, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
Step 3. Add the rest of the Olive Oil and Mushroom to the skillet. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until browned and their liquid has evaporated, about 7 minutes.
Step 4. Stir in Garlic until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Pour in Chicken Broth and scrape up the browned bits; simmer until slightly reduced, about 2 minutes.
Step 5. Return the chicken and any juices to the skillet. Spoon mushrooms over it, scatter on Mozzarella, and cover. Cook over medium-low heat until the cheese melts and the chicken is cooked through, about 5 minutes.

Finish & serve

Step 6. Mash the drained potatoes with Butter and Milk until smooth. Serve with the chicken, mushrooms, and pan juices.
