Preheat the oven to 200°C (fan oven). Peel and wash the potatoes, pat dry, and cut into wedges. Season with oil, salt, and pepper.

Place the chicken breast between the potatoes and spread a thick layer of the pepper puree on top. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs over the chicken and bake for another 20 minutes on the middle rack. Serve the chicken breast with the roasted potatoes. Sprinkle with the chopped parsley and the remaining walnuts. Approx. 910 kcal per serving.
