Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups Baby Potatoes, sliced ½ inch thick
  • ¼ cup Frying Oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 tsp Paprika
  • 1 Dried Rosemary
  • 400 g Cherry Tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 Whole Garlic Bulb
  • 1 tsp Italian Seasoning
  • ½ tsp Red Pepper Flakes, to taste
  • Salt and Freshly Ground Black Pepper, to taste
  • Fresh Basil Leaves, chopped
  • ¼ cup Heavy Cream
  • 2 Chicken Breasts

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Meanwhile, wash and slice the baby potatoes into ½ inch thick rounds.
  2. Heat ¼ cup of frying oil over medium heat in a large frying pan. Add the sliced potatoes, sprinkling them with salt, garlic powder, and paprika. Cook for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden and crispy.
  3. Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt, garlic powder, paprika, oregano, and black pepper.
  4. Sear the chicken in the same pan with the potatoes for about 6-7 minutes on each side until golden.
  5. Add cherry tomatoes, olive oil, the whole garlic bulb, and dried rosemary to the pan. Cook for 5 minutes until the tomatoes burst.
  6. Lower the heat and stir in heavy cream, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, and fresh basil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Return the chicken to the pan, ensuring it is nestled among the tomatoes. Spoon sauce over the chicken.
  8. Transfer the pan to the oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes until the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C).
