Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs

  • purpose flour

Instructions

  1. Prepare the grilled herb chicken skewers by marinating the chicken thighs in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, lemon zest, salt, and freshly chopped parsley, thyme, and rosemary for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Slice the potatoes into thin, even rounds and soak them in cold water to remove excess starch.
  3. For the creamy mushroom sauce, sauté sliced button mushrooms in butter until tender, then add heavy cream and simmer until slightly thickened. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Cook the potato rösti by draining, drying, and parboiling the potato rounds before pan frying them to achieve a crispy, golden crust.
  5. Grill the chicken skewers over medium heat until fully cooked, basting with additional marinade as needed.
  6. Serve the grilled herb chicken skewers atop the potato rösti, generously drizzled with the creamy mushroom sauce.
