This is my favourite Chicken. It is simple and tasty.
Shopping list:
chicken fillet

Rosemary

Sage

Black pepper


What do I do?
Prepare your Rosemary and Sage hint: I always buy a good potion of rosemary and sage. I cut them into small pieces and add salt to them. Then put them on a kitchen cloth to dry. Then I store that in a container and I use over time.

Weekend VIP treats

Weekend is here. This is the time when most families that are working during the week atleast find time to make some good home made food. Most Italian restaurants make this dish and also find it is very widely cooked by families.

My idea this weekend is Potatoes and chicken baked in the oven.

Your shopping List
Potatoes, chicken thighs, Rosemary if fresh the better, Sage, garlic and onion too will give them an extra great flavour. These are the main ingredients but sometimes I want to make them more balanced so I add carrots and Zucchini.

Preparations:
Brown the chicken thighs a little on a Pan with butter, put peeled potatoes and other vegetables in the oven pan and add salt, rosemary, sage, chicken, onion and garlic. Using hands mix with a generous amount of olive oil. Then bake in the oven.

Enjoy your meal and you can have some salad as a side dish.
Im sure your whole family will enjoy it!

The dish is comprised of Chicken cooked on the pan with garlic, salt, rosemary and sage.
Then served together with some salad, (lettuce, tomatoes)
And of course some fried potatoes. Could also go well with potatoes baked in the oven
which are even healthier.
But fried potatoes every now and then is ok!
