This sandy chicken and vegetables recipe pops up on the web occasionally because it is economical, we can vary the vegetables almost infinitely, and we can cook it both in the oven and in the air fryer.
As for vegetables, I suggest besides potatoes and zucchini, also cherry tomatoes and/or grape tomatoes, but also slices of onion, fennel, and carrot rings!
If we use firm vegetables like pumpkin, we should actually blanch them for a few minutes in salted boiling water, let them cool, coat them with the breadcrumbs, and proceed to finish cooking them in the oven we have available in our kitchens.

FOR THE PREPARATION OF THE SANDY CHICKEN AND VEGETABLES RECIPE
Cut the chicken breast into cubes, also removing the white fat filaments and the Y-shaped bone called the wishbone or chicken wishbone.
This bone was the protagonist of a game to predict the sex of an unborn child that we used to play at home with my mom.
How did we play? Two people decide if the woman will give birth to a boy or a girl and take the two parts of the wishbone and pull… If the man holds the larger part of the bone, which never splits 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’re talking about it in the final episode of the third season of THE BEAR on Disney plus!)
Let’s get back to the recipe, excuse me!
In a bowl, I mix breadcrumbs, grated cheese, salt, pepper, dried oregano, and minced garlic well to combine all the ingredients for the breading.
Then I add the chicken cubes and try to season and cover them well with this tasty mix.
I cut the zucchini into rings and the already boiled potatoes into pieces, adding them to the bowl and always enhancing the flavors.
I line the baking pan with parchment paper and arrange the chicken and sandy vegetables, trying not to overlap one another.
I drizzle or spray with extra virgin olive oil and bake, cooking for about 25 minutes at 375°F in static mode or according to the features of our home oven.
This sandy chicken and vegetables is a simple and tasty dish that even the little ones at home will enjoy, I’m sure!
Bon appetit! Annalisa
