Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 10 oz chicken breast cut length wise

  • 2-3 tablespoons basil fresh, chopped
  • 1/4 cup parmesan cheese fresh

Roasted Fingerling Potatoes

  • 24 oz fingerling potatoes rinsed and cut into 1 inch cubes
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 teaspoon thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil extra virgin

Instructions
 

  • Preheat a large non stick pan on medium to low heat. When ready, add 1-2 tablespoons of the olive oil.
  • Season the chicken and add to the pan. Cook for 5 minutes then flip over.
  • Continue to cook for 3 minutes. Then add the tomato, basil and garlic.
  • Smash the tomato with your spatula. Deglaze the pan with the juice of the tomato.
  • Let simmer for another 5 minutes. Remove from the heat when done or when chicken reaches 165 degrees. Sprinkle parmesan on top.

Roasted Fingerlings

  • Preheat the oven at 400 degrees.
  • On a large sheet pan lined with foil, spread the potatoes and season. Then add the olive oil and gently mix into the potatoes.
  • Place in the oven and let it roast for 22-25 minutes.
  • Serve up with a spoon full of potatoes with the chicken. Add additional parmesan if you like and enjoy!

Notes

This recipe is versatile and can be doubled if you want to make a larger serving. The fingerlings called for 24 oz , which is the whole bag of fingerlings. But as this recipe is for 2-3 people, that can be a lot of potatoes. You can save the remaining for breakfast or lunch the next day or only cook half of the bag.
If you don't have parmesan cheese, mozzarella is a good substitute.
Also if you like a little more sauce on the chicken, you can add 1 more tomato.
