In the U.S. Midwest potatoes are often fixed with chicken, usually mashed potatoes with gravy. The Lemon Bar-B-Que Chicken Breasts will not have the needed fat to make gravy, try something different such as: An Irish recipe for mashed potatoes and kale. A pasta side dish would be good too. How about a green vegetable, potatoes, and pasta? Use the recipe: green beans, red potatoes and bow-tie pasta as the side dish. Then you have potatoes and pasta!
