Instructions

1
Place bacon gravy in warm water to thaw. Open chicken and place in a Suvie pan. Cut open the bacon gravy and pour on top of the chicken. Place chicken in the Top Zone of Suvie.
2
Before opening, gently tap potatoes on the counter to break up any large pieces. Open potatoes and pour into a Suvie pan. Add 2 tbsp butter, 2 tbsp milk or water, 1 tsp salt, and freshly ground pepper (for 4 servings, season with 4 tbsp butter, ¼ cup milk or water, 2 tsp salt, and ½ tsp freshly ground pepper).
3
Place green peas in the fridge to thaw. Place potatoes in Bottom Zone of Suvie.
4
Input settings and cook now or schedule. Be sure to select "Yes" when asked if cooking from frozen. Bottom Zone: Roast at 350°F for 15 minutes (for 4 servings, Roast at 350°F for 20 minutes). Top Zone: Roast at 325°F for 15 mins (for 4 servings, Roast for 20 mins).
5
After cooking, stir potatoes, milk, and butter to combine. Open green peas and pour on top or to the side of the potatoes. Return to Suvie and broil for 7 minutes. Leave the chicken in Suvie to keep warm.
6
After the peas are cooked, divide potatoes and peas between plates. Sprinkle truffle zest over the potatoes. Top with the chicken and drizzle with the gravy and juices from the pan. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Pat chicken breasts dry before roasting to ensure even browning and crispy skin; season generously with salt and pepper at least 15 minutes before cooking.
Caramelized onion bacon gravy thickens as it cools—add gravy gradually to mashed potatoes or serve on the side if you prefer a looser consistency.
Whip the potato purée with warm butter and milk for a fluffier texture; cold dairy can make potatoes gluey.
Heat peas separately in their liquid or a knob of butter just before plating to keep them bright green and tender—overheating dulls their color and flavor.

Substitutions

Truffle zest → truffle oil or white truffle butter (use ¼ tsp oil or 1 tsp butter per serving)
Caramelized onion bacon gravy packets → homemade gravy from pan drippings, diced bacon, and caramelized onions
Green peas → haricots verts, sugar snap peas, or sautéed spinach
Chicken breast → chicken thighs (adjust roasting time to 35–40 minutes for deeper flavor and juiciness)

Storage & make-ahead

Store chicken, gravy, and mashed potatoes separately in airtight containers for up to 3 days; reheat gently with added broth or water to restore moisture.

Common Questions

How do you keep chicken breast tender and juicy when roasting?

Roast at moderate temperature (375–400°F) until internal temperature reaches 165°F, then rest for 5 minutes before serving to retain moisture.

Can you make the mashed potatoes ahead of time?

Yes. Prepare the potato purée up to 2 days ahead, refrigerate, then reheat gently with butter and milk before serving.

What can I use instead of truffle zest?

Truffle oil (¼ tsp per serving), white truffle butter, or omit entirely for a classic buttery mash. Finely grated Parmesan also adds umami depth.

Is this recipe suitable for scaling?

Yes. The recipe scales linearly—double chicken breasts, gravy packets, potatoes, and peas for 4 servings; adjust butter and liquid accordingly.

How should I store leftovers?

Store chicken, gravy, and potatoes separately in airtight containers for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or oven at 350°F with a splash of water or broth.
