Tangy Chicken Potato Bake with Sweet and Spicy Onions

# Posted by Joel Dixon at 25/09/2007 13:22:39

This meal is the first time I've gone with a side dish for my meal, and it surprisingly turned out quite well. It actually came from a Jean Paré book, which I had bought on the first shopping trip I took here. It took this long for me to get the time, ingredients and cooking utensils to give it a shot.

Tangy Chicken Potato Bake

Ingredients
Italian Dressing - 1/2 cup (125 mL)
Honey Dijon mustard - 1/4 cup (60 mL)
Chopped fresh basil - 2 tbsp. (30 mL)
or 1 1/2 tsp. (7 mL) dried

Boneless, skinless chicken breast halves - 4

Medium unpeeled potatoes cut into 2cm cubes - 4
Salt, sprinkle
Pepper, sprinkle

Method
1. Combine dressing, mustard and basil in a small bowl.

2. Put chicken in large freezer bag and coat with half of the mixture made in step 1. Seal bag and place in refrigerator for 2 hours. Drain.

3. Put potato in medium bowl and add remaining mixture from step 1, salt and pepper. Toss until coated.

4. Arrange chicken in centre of greased baking dish. Arrange potato around chicken and cover with foil.

5. Place in moderate (190 Celsius or 375 Fahrenheit) oven for about 45 minutes, or until there is no pink in chicken.

Sweet and Spicy Onions

Ingredients
Butter (or margarine) softened - 3 tbsp. (50 mL)
Chili sauce - 2 tbsp. (30 mL)
Brown sugar, packed - 1 tbsp. (15 mL)
Worcestershire sauce - 1 tsp. (5 mL)
Salt - 1/8 tsp. (0.5 mL)
Pepper - 1/8 tsp. (0.5 mL)

Medium onions, cut into 4 wedges - 4

Grated Parmesan cheese - 2 tsp. (10 mL)

Method
1. Melt butter in large frying pan on medium heat.

2. Add chili sauce, sugar, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper. Heat and stir until mixture starts bubbling.

3. Add onion, stir to coat.

4. Cook covered for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until onion is soft and caramelised.

5. Sprinkle with cheese.

The two dishes go really well together, but probably better for a fancy meal than my daily lunches!
