Garlic Broiled Chicken and Two-Color Mashed Potatoes

I got the chicken recipe off allrecipes.com and it came out quite good. It's easier to cook dinner when there's someone home to watch the baby, but barring that, a well-stocked play yard is always helpful. This dinner serves 6, if you add a microwave vegetable, and only takes about 30 minutes to make.

Chicken Ingredients:

1/2 cup butter
3 Tbsp minced garlic
3 Tbsp light soy sauce
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
1 Tbsp dried parsley
6 chicken drumsticks

Preheat broiler on high. Spray a glass baking dish with cooking spray. In a microwave safe bowl, mix the butter, garlic, soy sauce, pepper and parsley. Cook 1-2 minutes on high, or til butter melts. Arrange chicken in baking dish and cover with the spice mixture. Broil chicken for 20 minutes, or until chicken is firm and juices run clear.


Potato Ingredients:

2 white/russet potatoes, baked (I use a microwave since it's faster, just poke with a fork and cook 7-8 minutes on high and turned over once)
1 yam/sweet potato, baked
1/2 tsp seasoned salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
3 Tbsp butter
1/4 cup milk

Bake the potatoes then scoop the insides out of the skins and into a bowl. Add remaining ingredients and mash all together with a potato masher. Make sure all is mixed well. Simple, but tasty! Add more butter if you wish.
