Chicken Roasted on Potatoes and Garlic

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
6 potatoes, peeled and chopped
1/4 cup oregano
12 cloves garlic, unpeeled
sea salt and cracked black pepper
4 chicken breast fillets, skin on
oil for brushing

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
2. Place the oil, potatoes, oregano, garlic, salt and pepper in a baking dish and toss to combine. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the potatoes are almost cooked.
3. While the potatoes are cooking, brush the chicken fillets with a little oil and sprinkle the skin with salt and pepper.
4. Place a frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken, skin-side down, and cook for 3 minutes or until well browned.
5. Then place the chicken, skin-side up, on top of the potatoes and garlic in the baking dish. Bake for a further 10 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
6. To serve, place the chicken and potatoes on plates. Squeeze the garlic from its skin and spread on the potatoes and chicken. Serve with steamed beans and a squeeze of lemon.

Makes 4 servings.
