BAKED ITALIAN CHICKEN WITH POTATOES



Baked Italian Chicken with Potatoes image

Turn every day ingredients into something special! The chicken does not need to be marinated because this recipe makes a wonderful sauce, but if you do then it will be even more tasty. I like to par boil the potatoes because I really love how it sucks up the flavour of the Italian Dressing. But you can skip this step if you prefer to cook it all in the oven - refer to Note 4 for steps.

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 - 5 chicken thigh fillets (, skin on and bone in (about 6oz/200g each))
1/2 tbsp olive oil
1 tin (14oz/400g) crushed tomatoes
1 1/2 cups cherry tomatos
3 (around 1.5lb/ 750g in total) medium size potatoes (, peeled and cut into bite size pieces)
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese (, grated (or any other good melting cheese))
Salt and pepper
1/2 tbsp each dried rosemary and thyme ((OR oregano) leaves (or 2 tbsp fresh))
2 garlic cloves (, minced)
3 tbsp red wine or white wine vinegar ((Note 1))
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1/2 tsp salt
Black pepper
Basil leaves ((optional))

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.
