Roasted Chicken Breast with Potatoes
I am always looking for easy chicken recipes and this is definitely one of them.. yummy, easy and quick!
- 2 bone-in chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, grated
- ½ cup cilantro, chopped
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 6 to 7 Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut in half
- 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
- 1 cup chicken stock
- Salt
- Pepper
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Mix the butter, oil, garlic, cilantro and salt in a small bowl. Mix well and place some of the butter mixture under the skin and the rest on top. Marinate for 2 to 3 hours.
Transfer the potatoes into a saucepan filled with water. Bring to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes. Drain the potatoes and pat dry. Transfer the potatoes to a lined baking pan. Add the chicken pieces on top and bake for 30 to 35 minutes. Take the chicken pieces out and place them on a piece of foil and place under the broiler to brown the skin (briefly- make sure not to over do it). Transfer the potatoes to another pan and place under the broiler to brown on all sides (drizzle some olive oil if needed). Place the roasting pan with chicken and potato bits on the stove. Add the flour and cook on medium heat stirring with a whisk for 1 minute. Add the broth gradually whisking slowly making sure no lumps form. Add salt and pepper. Slice the chicken breast and serve with roast potatoes and green beans.
