Ingredients
  

For Roasted Potatoes
  • 1 lb Baby potatoes sliced ½ inch thick
  • ¼ cup frying oil
  • Salt to taste
  • Garlic powder
  • Paprika
  • Dried rosemary
For Creamy Tomato Sauce
  • 400 g cherry tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 whole garlic bulb
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes adjust to taste
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil leaves chopped
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
For Chicken
  • 2 large Chicken breast
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil
  • Salt
  • Garlic powder
  • Paprika
  • Oregano
  • Black pepper

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss sliced baby potatoes with ¼ cup frying oil, salt, garlic powder, paprika, and dried rosemary. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 30-35 minutes, or until tender and golden.
  2. Season chicken breasts generously with salt, garlic powder, paprika, oregano, and black pepper.
  3. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken breasts for 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, add 2 tbsp olive oil, cherry tomatoes, and the whole garlic bulb (peeled and minced or crushed). Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes begin to burst and soften. Stir in Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.
  5. Reduce heat to low, then stir in heavy cream and chopped fresh basil. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens.
  6. Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the creamy tomato sauce over them. Simmer for another 2-3 minutes to heat through.
  7. Serve the creamy tomato chicken breast immediately with the roasted baby potatoes.

Notes

For an extra layer of flavor, you can add a splash of white wine to the tomato sauce before adding the cream.
