Let’s start by preparing our potatoes for roasting. Cut the peeled potatoes into thin potato chip-like pieces. Drizzle olive oil over the top and sprinkle with salt, black pepper, ground pepper, and thyme. Mix everything together until the potatoes are evenly coated. Now, spread the seasoned potatoes on a baking sheet and put them in a preheated oven at 200 degrees Celsius for about 35 minutes.
Cook chicken and vegetables
While the potatoes are baking, it’s time to focus on the chicken and vegetables. Cut the onion, green pepper, red pepper and tomatoes into small pieces. Cut the chicken breast into equal-sized portions. In a frying pan, heat olive oil and cook the chicken until golden. Add the chopped vegetables and sauté until tender. Season with black pepper, cumin, thyme and salt to taste.
Assemble the plate
Once the potatoes are golden and crispy, and the chicken and vegetables are cooked to perfection, it’s time to assemble our dish. Place the chicken and vegetables in the center of the baking sheet, surrounded by the roast potatoes. Mix tomato paste with water to create a sauce and then drizzle it over the dish. Finally, sprinkle grated cheddar cheese generously on top.
Bake the dish
To seal in all the flavors and melt the cheese to perfection, line the baking sheet with moistened parchment paper. This will help create a steamy environment that ensures your dish stays moist and delicious. Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake at 200 degrees Celsius for a further 15 minutes.
Serve and enjoy
Voila! Your delicious chicken and potato dish is now ready to serve. The combination of tender chicken, roasted potatoes, and flavorful vegetables creates a symphony of flavors and textures that is simply irresistible. Whether you enjoy it alone or share it with your loved ones, this dish is sure to leave everyone satisfied and asking for more.
