Ingredients:

2 potatoes
400g
3 tsp olive oil
14g
2 tbsp rosemary
30g
1 cup fresh parsley
60g
1 onion
160g
2 garlic cloves
6g
1.50 lb chicken breasts
680g
1 cup orange juice
230g
3 cups spinach
90g
salt & pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Prep Work:

- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash the potatoes thoroughly, then cut them into small, evenly sized chunks.
- Peel and finely chop the onion.
- Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
- Chop the fresh parsley.
2. Seasoning the Potatoes:

- In a large mixing bowl, toss the potato chunks with 2 teaspoons of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of rosemary, salt, and pepper.
- Spread the seasoned potatoes out in a single layer on a baking sheet.
3. Roasting the Potatoes:

- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
- Roast the potatoes for approximately 20 minutes, or until they begin to turn golden and slightly crispy, stirring halfway through.
4. Preparing the Chicken:

- While the potatoes are roasting, heat the remaining 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of rosemary.
- Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet, sautéing until they become fragrant and the onion turns translucent (about 3-4 minutes).

5. Cooking the Chicken:

- Add the seasoned chicken breasts to the skillet.
- Sear the chicken on both sides until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes per side.

6. Adding the Orange Juice:

- Pour the orange juice into the skillet, covering the chicken breasts.
- Reduce the heat to low and let the chicken simmer in the orange juice for 10-15 minutes, or until fully cooked through and tender.
7. Prepping the Spinach:

- While the chicken is simmering, blanch the spinach: bring a pot of water to a boil, add the spinach, and cook for about 1 minute.
- Drain the spinach and immediately transfer to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain again and set aside.

8. Combining Ingredients:

- Once the chicken is cooked, remove the chicken breasts from the skillet and set aside.
- Add the roasted potatoes and blanched spinach to the skillet, stirring to coat with the remaining orange juice and seasoning in the pan.
9. Serving:

- Serve the seasoned chicken breasts alongside the rosemary potatoes and spinach.
- Garnish with the chopped parsley for a fresh, vibrant finish.
10. Enjoy:

- Season with additional salt and pepper to taste, if necessary. Enjoy your deliciously seasoned chicken with rosemary potatoes!

Tips:

- Use fresh rosemary if possible for the most aromatic and flavorful potatoes.

- Ensure the chicken breasts are evenly cooked by pounding them to an even thickness before seasoning.

- For a richer flavor, marinate the chicken in orange juice and some of the minced garlic for at least 30 minutes before cooking.

- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

- Add the spinach just before serving to keep its vibrant color and nutritional benefits. Lightly sauté or wilt it in the pan with the chicken for a minute or two.

This seasoned chicken with rosemary potatoes dish brings together rich flavors and wholesome ingredients for a satisfying meal. Enjoy the delicious combination of tender chicken, fragrant rosemary potatoes, and fresh spinach, and feel confident that you've made a wholesome meal for yourself and your loved ones.
