Instructions

Add peeled and chunked potatoes to cold salted water. Bring to boil and cook until fork-tender, ~15 minutes. Drain and let steam off excess moisture.
Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss carrots with 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast 25–35 minutes until tender and caramelized. Near end, melt 2 tbsp butter with 1 tbsp honey and 1 grated garlic clove; pour over carrots and toss.
Pat chicken dry, season with salt, pepper, half the minced garlic, thyme, and Italian herbs with 1 tbsp olive oil. Heat remaining oil in skillet, sear chicken 5–6 min per side. Tent with foil to keep warm.
In same skillet, sauté shallot and remaining garlic 1–2 min. Deglaze with white wine, scrape browned bits. Simmer 2–3 min, add chicken stock, simmer until slightly thickened. Whisk in 2 tbsp cold butter off heat. Season sauce.
Mash potatoes to desired consistency. Warm 4 tbsp butter, cream cheese, and milk; stir into mashed potatoes. Season with salt and pepper.

Notes

For creamy mashed potatoes, avoid overmixing. Use a potato ricer or masher for smooth texture.
Glazed carrots can be prepared in advance; reheat gently.
