Spread the love

Ingredients for 2 servings:

  • 500 g chicken breast fillet(s)
  • 4 onions
  • 3 beefsteak tomatoes
  • 600 g potato(s), waxy
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 3 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • olive oil
  • Salt
  • pepper
  • Paprika powder
  • 2 sprigs rosemary
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 8 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp coriander powder
  • 1 tsp cumin powder
  • 1 tsp paprika powder
  • 1 pinch of chili
  • ½ tsp pepper
  • 1 tsp curry powder
  • 1 tsp garlic granules

Instructions

Working time approx. 15 minutes; Rest period approx. 1 day; Cooking/baking time approx. 45 minutes; Total time approx. 1 day 1 hour

Wash the chicken breast fillets and pat dry. For the marinade, stir together the spices listed above and place them in a zip-top bag with the fillets. Knead thoroughly and refrigerate overnight. A few hours will do in a pinch. For the potato wedges, wash the potatoes and cut them into wedges. Flatten the garlic cloves with a knife, still with the skin on. Roughly chop the rosemary and place both in a shallow baking dish with the potatoes. I always place the potato wedges skin-side down; I find the result is better this way, but it’s not necessary. Drizzle oil over the potatoes, season with paprika, salt, and pepper, and bake in the oven at 200°C (convection oven) for about 45 minutes, until golden brown, stirring occasionally. In the meantime, remove the chicken breast fillets from the marinade and place them in a deeper baking dish. Cut the onions into strips and scatter them over the chicken. If you want less work, you can also halve the onions and add them. Halve the beefsteak tomatoes and remove the stems. Place them cut-side up on the chicken breast fillets. Season with salt and pepper and drizzle generously with balsamic vinegar and honey. Place everything in the oven with the potato wedges after they’ve been in the oven for about 10 minutes. This means the chicken will need about 35-40 minutes, depending on its thickness. It’s best to cut into the thickest part at the end of the cooking time to check if it’s cooked through.
