At 30°C with a humidex of 42°C (that's 107.6F !!!) I'm staying in my air conditioned kitchen and making this simple sheet pan dinner. No BBQ tonight! Happy Canada Day!
Ingredients:
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut in 3
4-5 red potatoes, diced (4 cups 1-1 1/2" cubes)
3 tbsps olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp dry oregano
1 tsp dry basil
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tbsp lemon juice
1/4 cup sliced sun dried tomatoes
1 onion, thinly sliced
10-12 asparagus spears
1-2 garlic scapes (optional)
Cut potatoes to uniform size then toss with 1 1/2 tbsp olive oil in a plastic bag or bowl. Toss the chicken with 1 1/2 tbsps olive oil in a separate vessel. Mix the seasonings together then add 1 tsp of the mix to the potatoes and 1 tsp to the chicken. Shake or toss to coat. Place the chicken on a lined baking sheet and the potatoes next to the chicken. Sprinkle the remaining seasonings on top. Place the onion slices in the bag the potatoes came out of and set aside. Bake in a 400°F oven for 15 minutes. After that time add the asparagus drizzled with a little oil on each side of the pan, place the onion slices on top of the potatoes and the sun dried tomatoes on top of the chicken. Add chopped garlic scapes if using. Return to the oven another 10 minutes or until internal temperature of chicken is 165°F. Sprinkle with lemon juice and serve. Serves 3-4
