Baked Chicken With Potatoes Cherry Tomatoes And Herbs Recipes

BAKED ITALIAN CHICKEN WITH POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F/180C.
• Mix together Italian Dressing ingredients.
• Boil or microwave the potatoes until slightly undercooked - about 5 minutes boiling / 5 minutes on high in a steamer in the microwave. Use a fork to rough the potatoes up a bit - this allows the potatoes to absorb more of the dressing flavour - and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper.
• Meanwhile, season the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat 1/2 tbsp olive oil in large oven proof skillet over high heat.
• Add chicken and brown well on both sides - around 5 minutes each side.
• Remove skillet from heat, and pour off the excess fat.
• Place potatoes around the chicken and pour over the crushed tomatoes. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper and drizzle the Italian Dressing all over.
• Place cherry tomatoes on top and bake for 25 - 30 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
• Remove from oven and sprinkle on cheese, then bake for a further 5 minutes until the cheese is melted and golden.
• Let stand for 5 to 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with basil leaves if you wish.
