Before starting, preheat the oven to 425°F.Wash and dry all produce. Cut potatoes into 1/2-inch pieces. Peel, then halve garlic cloves. Drizzle a small piece of foil with oil, then wrap garlic cloves. Add foil-wrapped cloves to a baking sheet. Roast in the middle of the oven, until softened and fragrant, 16-18 min.
While garlic roasts, combine potatoes, 2 tsp salt and enough water to cover (approx. 1 inch) in a large pot. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium. Simmer, uncovered, until fork-tender, 10-12 min.
While potatoes cook, strip 1 tbsp thyme leaves (dbl for 4 ppl). Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Sprinkle over half the thyme. Season with salt and pepper. Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then chicken. Pan-fry, until golden, 2-3 min per side. Transfer to the baking sheet with garlic. Bake in the middle of the oven, until cooked through, 6-8 min.**
Heat the same pan over medium heat. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened, 3-4 min. Add 1 tsp sugar (dbl for 4 ppl), balsamic and season with salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until dark golden-brown, 2-3 min. Transfer onions to a small bowl and set aside.
Heat the same pan over medium heat. When hot, add grapes and remaining thyme. Cook, stirring often, until grapes blister, 2-3 min. Add caramelized onions, broth concentrate, 1/2 cup water, and 1 tbsp butter (dbl both for 4 ppl). Cook, stirring occasionally, until grapes soften and mixture is slightly reduced, 4-5 min. Season with salt and pepper.
Mash roasted garlic. When potatoes are done, drain and return to the same pot, off heat. Mash in sour cream and 1 tbsp butter (dbl for 4 ppl), until smooth. Stir in mashed garlic. Season with salt and pepper.Slice chicken. Divide mash and chicken between plates. Spoon grape sauce over chicken.
