6 red potatoes

1 Tbsp organic butter

2 Tbsp organic cream cheese

Directions:

Boil potatoes (with skin) in water until they are soft enough to mash.  Drain water and place potatoes in a bowl.  Add cream cheese, butter, minced garlic, salt and pepper.  Mash until all ingredients are mixed thoroughly.  Allow to cool while preparing chicken.

Preheat the oven to 335.  Slice chicken breasts into strips and lay in 9×13 baking pan.  Drizzle with olive oil.  Coat chicken with Cajun Seasoning.  Place in oven and bake for 23 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink inside.FullSizeRender.jpg

While chicken is cooking, heat coconut oil on medium heat in frying pan.  Take 1/2 cup of potato mixture and form into a ball.  Drop into coconut oil and press down with a spatula.  Fry until brown, (about 7 minutes) and flip to other side.
