The 7 Day Detox Diet - Pan-fried Chicken Breast Barbecue with Baked Potato and Vegetables

Pan-fried Chicken Breast Barbecue with Baked Potato and Vegetables

Ingredients:

To prepare:

Carefully wash the chicken breast; be careful not to spatter. On a cutting board, cut the chicken breast down the middle so that it opens up like a butterfly. Cover the chicken breast with Saran wrap and lightly pound it with a mallet so that it spreads out thinly. Be careful not to pound on it too much; you don’t want to get holes on the meat.

Take the potato and wash it, brushing with an old toothbrush to make sure that it is completely clean. Place the potato on a cut of aluminium foil and drizzle olive oil on it until it is completely covered. Season the potato with salt and pepper and wrap it with the aluminium foil. Place the potato inside an oven pre-heated at 180°C. The potato should take 20 to 25 minutes to bake.

Take the vegetables, wash them and peel as needed and chop them into bite-sized pieces. Spread them out in a baking pan and drizzle with a little olive oil. Season them with salt and pepper and place inside the oven. Roast until tender. (Note: Roasted squash is particularly good with this dish.)

Combine the paprika, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, chilli powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a small bowl. Rub the mixture onto the chicken breast. In the mood for Cajun chicken? You can substitute the rub with Cajun seasoning and a little salt and pepper.

Heat up a little olive oil or vegetable oil in a medium-sized pan. Pan-fry the chicken breast until it is cooked through and through.

Remove the potato from the oven and from the foil. Place it on a plate and draw an X on it with a kitchen knife, breaking it open. Serve everything warm on a plate.
