Chicken breast with potatoes in the oven
Description
This dish has long been known in our family as a lifesaver. When we have no ideas for dinner and don't feel like spending ages cooking, we always prepare chicken fillet with potatoes in the oven. The dish is very filling and nutritious, yet cooks quickly using ingredients that every homemaker always has in her fridge. Plus, these potatoes are also very healthy, since they're baked in the oven without a single gram of oil. Want even tastier potatoes? Add some sautéed mushrooms and sprinkle with grated cheese. But here's the classic version for you.
