This sandy chicken and vegetables recipe occasionally pops up on the web because it’s economical, you can vary the vegetables almost endlessly, and you can cook it either in the oven or in the air fryer.
For vegetables, I suggest besides potatoes, zucchini, also cherry and/or datterini tomatoes, but also slices of onion, fennel, and carrot rounds!
If we use firm vegetables like pumpkin, we can and actually should blanch them for a few minutes in salted boiling water, let them cool, coat them with the breading, and proceed to finish cooking in the oven available in our kitchens.
And if you love traditional chicken second courses, also try the ‘ncip ‘nciap chicken from Marche.

FOR THE PREPARATION OF SANDY CHICKEN AND VEGETABLES
Cut the chicken breast into cubes, removing the white fat filaments and the Y-shaped bone called the wishbone.
This little bone was the protagonist of a game to predict the gender of a future birth we used to play at home with my mom.
How was it played? Two people decide if that woman will give birth to a boy or a girl and take the two parts of the wishbone and pull… If the male holds the larger part of the bone, which never divides in half, the pregnant woman will have a boy, conversely, if it’s a female holding the longer bone, a girl will be born. (another curiosity that made me smile for the coincidence, they are talking about it right now in the latest episode of the third season of THE BEAR on Disney plus!)
Let’s get back to the recipe, sorry!
In a bowl, I mix breadcrumbs, grated cheese, salt, pepper, dried oregano, and chopped garlic, mixing well to combine all the breading ingredients.
I then add the chicken cubes and try to season them to coat them well with this tasty mix.
I then cut the zucchini into rounds and the already boiled potatoes into pieces and add them to the bowl, always seasoning the food.
Line the baking pan with parchment paper and arrange the chicken and sandy vegetables, trying not to overlap them.
Pour or spray some extra virgin olive oil and bake, cooking for about 25 minutes at 375°F in static mode or according to the characteristics of your home oven.
This sandy chicken and vegetables is a simple and tasty dish that even the little ones in the house will enjoy, I’m sure!
Enjoy your meal! Annalisa
