This year for the Roast Chicken Day, I decided to participate in the #teambreast with this excellent Oven-Baked Chicken Breast Crowned with Potatoes, which I named so because I made cuts to insert crispy potatoes grilled. It will be juicy, and adding potatoes inside the chicken, rather than on the tray, will also give it a touch of class.
- Difficulty: Easy
- Cost: Low
- Preparation time: 20 Minutes
- Portions: 4 servings
- Cooking methods: Oven
- Cuisine: Italian
Ingredients
- 1.65 lbs chicken breast
- to taste smoked salt
- 1 tsp sweet paprika (level)
- 1 1/2 tsp ground coriander (dried)
- 1 tsp dried onion (ground, level)
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- to taste fine salt
- to taste olive oil
- 7.05 oz potatoes
- to taste rosemary
Preparation
Make fairly deep cuts in the chicken breast with a sharp knife, but do not cut all the way through; you need to fan it out. I recommend, if possible, to remove the bone and cartilage, if present, without damaging the chicken.
Now prepare the spice mix. Massage the chicken breast with a little oil, salt it, and then spread the spice mix over the entire surface.
Wash the potatoes thoroughly, slice them thinly without peeling.
Heat a grill well, grease it with a little oil, place the potatoes on it, and season them with rosemary. Cook for about 4/5 minutes per side until they are beautifully golden and crispy.
Place the potato slices on a plate and salt them. I recommend not salting them during cooking, otherwise they would remain softer.
Grease a baking dish with a diameter of 8.66 inches with a little oil, place the chicken breast inside, and bake in the oven at 356°F for about 20 minutes.
Now take the chicken breast out of the oven and insert potato slices into the slits. Drizzle the surface with a little cooking broth and cook for about 5 more minutes.
And bon appétit!
Tips/Advice
Of course, you can modify the spice mix according to your taste. If you like it spicy, you can also add some chili pepper.
Do not insert raw potato slices into the slits to cook with the chicken; they would be raw. I recommend grilling them first.
