Ingredients:

4 leeks
720g
4 potatoes
800g
2 red peppers
160g
1/3 cup dried oregano
50g
1 tbsp olive oil
14g
4 chicken breasts
470g
1 egg white
33g
1 cup spice mix
150g
3/4 cup chicken gravy
150g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).
2. Prepare the Vegetables:
- 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.
3. Season the Vegetables:
- 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.
4. Roast the Vegetables:
- 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.
5. Prepare the Chicken:
- 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.
6. Cook the Chicken:
- 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.
7. Prepare the Chicken Gravy:
- While the chicken is cooking, heat the chicken gravy in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally until warm.
8. Serve:
- 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.
9. Enjoy:
- 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.
