MaryLee's Healthy Food and Easy Cooking - Grilled Chicken Breast

Hi again,

Here is another summer meal to consider, it’s light and easy to do and takes no effort at all.

Grilled chicken breast served with roasted cherry tomatoes and potatoes for 2.

If you want to marinate your chicken breasts then use the same marinade as for the seared tuna.

2 medium size potatoes washed peel if you wish I usually leave the skins on.

Cube potatoes into bite size pieces and lightly cover with light oil or olive oil, put into roasting pan without the lid, season lightly with pepper or mixed dry herbs of your choice.

In an oven proof bowl place washed cherry tomatoes, 2 cups, drizzle with olive oil and lightly season. Cherry tomatoes come in different colours, any will do.

Place both potatoes and tomatoes in pre heated oven 350 F or 180 C and roast for approx 30 minutes. Or until the tomatoes split and turn slightly brown and potatoes are soft and golden brown.

Meanwhile while these are in the oven pre heat grill, once ready place the 2 chicken breast under the grill cook approximately 5 - 7 minutes one side turn and continue to cook approximately another 5 minutes or until the chicken juices run clear and chicken is cooked. You must watch to make sure they do not burn. You may have to lower the tray if it is to close to the element and the chicken is burning.

If you do not have a separate grill oven then when the tomatoes and potatoes are almost cooked put on bottom shelf and turn the oven to grill/broil. Place the chicken breasts under the grill and cook as above.

If you rather you can always BBQ the chicken but not everyone has a BBQ.
