Last Updated on August 2, 2024

Inspiration for Green Thursday, pan-seared chicken breast served sliced on a bed of buttered sauteed peas along with leeks and baby spinach and baked potatoes with cheese and cream.

Ingredients:

2 pieces of chicken breast 2 pieces 6 pcs potatoes 1 pcs piece of green part of leek 250 ml cream 12% 150 g frozen or fresh peas some baby spinach leaves grated Gran Moravia cheese fresh thyme olive oil parsley butter pepper salt

Procedure:

First thing in the morning, marinate your chicken in a little olive oil, season well with salt and pepper and sprinkle with fresh thyme.

Put everything in a bowl, wrap in foil and marinate in the fridge.

The potatoes take the longest time to bake from the recipe, up to 90 minutes, if you want to shorten this time, instead of slicing the peeled potatoes into thin slices, grate them straight into thin slices, then bake for about 45-55 minutes. Grease your baking dishes with butter. In a frying pan, in a little olive oil, let the onion slices turn slightly golden, then add the garlic at the last minute.

Layer the potato slices into the baking dishes and alternate with the onion mixture, finish with the potato layer, top with the cream mixed with parsley, salt and pepper. Put everything on a baking tray, cover with foil and bake in an oven heated to 180°C for about an hour. Layer everything so that you have about 1.5 cm of space left from the top edge. After an hour, remove the foil and leave to bake for another 15 minutes, then increase the temperature to 200°C and sprinkle the surface of the potatoes with grated cheese, bake for a few minutes until golden brown. Take out and let cool.

At this point it is time to start slowly roasting the chicken breasts on all sides until golden brown.

When the breasts are almost done, put a piece of butter in the next pan, on which fry the peas and leeks cut into small pieces, roast everything until tender. But be careful not to overcook! At the last minute, throw some baby spinach into the mixture, salt and pepper everything.

Pile the Vegetable Recipes on the plates and top with the sliced chicken breast, then it’s up to you whether you leave the potatoes in the baking dish or dump them on the plate.
