directions

  • Make a marinade by slicing the lemon in half and squeezing its juice into a bowl, add 2 tbs olive oil and about half the garlic.
  • Run a sharp knife along the length of the chicken breast, almost cutting the meat in half.
  • Spread the olive oil mixture on the inside of the breast, wrap it in cling film and put in the fridge for at least 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, take potatoes and boil them in a saucepan for 10-15 minutes or until nearly cooked through.
  • When potatoes are parboiled, remove them from pot and rinse with cold water until cooled.
  • Peel if desired and cut quarters into slices.
  • Heat remaining oil in frying pan and add garlic, onion and potatoes.
  • Squeeze juice from remaining half lemon over potatoes, sprinkle with sage and leave to cook for about 5 minutes, turning every once in a while.
  • Pile potatoes onto serving plates and put chicken in the frying pan.
  • Cook until done, turning as needed.
  • If you want a lower fat option, the chicken can also be grilled in the oven.
  • Put chicken on plate and serve, with a salad on the side if you're really hungry!

  1. Thought this was really good. The only thing I would change is to salt and pepper it to taste before serving, but otherwise a fabulous recipe. Thanks!
     
  2. 5 star all the way! My company raved about this dish. I doubled the recipe using 16 cloves of garlic and unfortuneately I had to use dried sage but it worked.(1 tsp) I marinated the chicken all day, boilerd the potatoes in the AM and only had the final touches to do before dinner Thanks Sackville Girl, great recipe

This is a picture of me and my husband in Portugal, climbing up above the clouds with our bikes. Right now we are travelling around the world on our bicycles, so I only pop onto Zaar occasionally, when internet connections and time allow me to. If I don't reply to a message about one of my recipes, now you know why! Our trip may take several years so if it's urgent, it's probably better for you to post in the forums ;) Good food is really important to me -- I am happy to pay extra for food that I feel is produced in a sustainable and ethical way and always try to eat using seasonal produce. When we were in the UK we rarely shopped at supermarkets, trying instead to favour small producers, although we were very lucky in that we lived in London and there was lots of choice. We also were fortunate enough to have a weekly organic veg box delivered to our door, filled with so many lovely vegetables for very little money. It really opened my horizons in terms of the variety of vegetables I eat. If you're in the UK, check out Riverford for a box supplier as they're amazing! When I'm not eating I love to take pictures and travel with my husband. <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/World%20Tour/ZWT2.gif">
