INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 oz Cheddar Cheese, shredded
1 medium Potato
1 Garlic Clove
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Place the medium potato on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with a pinch of salt, and add a garlic clove (leave it whole for roasting). Roast in the oven for about 30-35 minutes until tender.
While the potato roasts, season the chicken breast with salt and pepper on both sides.
Press the shredded cheddar cheese onto the top surface of the chicken breast to create a crust.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken, cheese-side down, for 2 minutes to help set the crust, then flip and cook the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes until the chicken is cooked through. (Alternatively, finish cooking in the oven for a crisp finish, about 10 minutes at 400°F.)
Once the potato is roasted, transfer it to a bowl and gently smash it using a fork. Mix in the roasted garlic (squeezing its softened flesh into the potato) and season with a little extra salt and pepper.
Plate the crispy cheddar-crusted chicken alongside the roasted garlic smashed potatoes and serve immediately.
