with Blistered Tomatoes and Potato Wedges
Yield: 2
Adapted from: Hello Fresh
A new take on chicken Parmesan. Herbs, breadcrumbs, and mozzarella are heaped onto chicken to create glorious crown of a crust. In place of marinara, roasted tomatoes add a sweet and tangy punch. On the side, you’ve also got some crispy potatoes
Prep: 10 Cook: 35
- 12oz Yukon potatoes
- 2Roma tomatoes
- ½cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1tsp dried oregano
- 1tsp paprika
- ½cup mozzarella cheese
- 12oz chicken breasts
- salt & pepper
- olive oil
Preheat and prep:
Wash and dry all produce.
Preheat oven to 425°F.
Cut potatoes into ½-inch-thick wedges, like steak fries.
Core and quarter tomatoes.
Roast veggies:
Toss potatoes on one side of a foil-lined baking sheet with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. On other side of baking sheet, toss tomatoes with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Roast until potatoes are crispy and tomatoes are very soft, 25-30 minutes, tossing halfway through.
Make panko crust:
Mix panko, oregano, paprika, mozzarella cheese, a drizzle of olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a small bowl.
Season chicken:
Season chicken breasts all over with salt and pepper. Rub with a drizzle of olive oil. Place on a second baking sheet.
Coat chicken:
Add a layer of panko crust to top of each chicken breast, gently pressing to adhere. Pile topping as high as possible (you may have some left over).
Bake chicken and serve:
Bake chicken until meat is cooked through and topping is golden-brown, about 20 minutes. Serve with potato wedges and roasted tomatoes.
