Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).
- Wash the leeks thoroughly to remove any dirt. Cut off the dark green tops and the root ends, then slice the leeks into 1-inch rings.
- Peel the potatoes, if desired, and cut them into bite-sized chunks.
- Wash and core the red peppers, then slice them into thin strips.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the leeks, potatoes, and red peppers.
- Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables.
- Sprinkle half of the dried oregano (roughly 25g) over the vegetables, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss to combine and ensure the vegetables are evenly coated.
- Spread the vegetable mixture evenly on a large baking sheet.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden and tender.
- While the vegetables are roasting, prepare the chicken breasts.
- In a bowl, whisk the egg white until frothy.
- Dip each chicken breast into the egg white, then dredge it in the spice mix, making sure to coat each breast thoroughly.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
- Once the skillet is hot, place the chicken breasts in the pan.
- Cook the chicken for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F) and the chicken is golden brown and fully cooked through.
- While the chicken is cooking, heat the chicken gravy in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally until warm.
- Arrange the roasted vegetables on a serving platter or individual plates.
- Place the herbed chicken fillets on top of the vegetables.
- Drizzle the warm chicken gravy over the chicken fillets and vegetables.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your herbed chicken fillets with roast potatoes.
Tips:
- Ensure that the leeks are thoroughly cleaned, as dirt can easily get trapped between the layers.
- Cut potatoes into even pieces to ensure they roast evenly.
- Pat the chicken breasts dry before coating them with the spice mix to help the seasoning adhere better.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked through—you’re looking for an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
- Roast vegetables on a single layer to ensure they cook evenly and get a good roast without steaming.
- If you want an extra kick, consider adding a dash of paprika or chili powder to the spice mix.
