Instructions

  1. Place rutabaga in large saucepan; cover with water (enough to also cover the potatoes when you stir them in); add 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt. Bring to boiling; reduce heat to low and simmer 15 minutes. Add potatoes to pan; simmer 20 minutes longer or until vegetables are very tender. Drain well.
  2. Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon butter and olive oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Add to skillet; sauté 8 to 10 minutes, turning once, until golden brown and no longer pink in center. Cook to internal temp of 165°F. Remove from pan; keep warm.
  3. Add mushrooms and shallots to skillet; sauté 5 minutes or until mushrooms are browned and tender. Stir in wine; simmer about 1 minute. Add remaining 1 tablespoon butter, stirring until melted.
  4. Mash the hot rutabaga and potatoes with potato masher in pan until almost smooth. Stir in enough buttermilk to make mixture creamy. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Serve chicken with mushrooms and pan juices spooned on top, alongside the mashed vegetables.
