Instructions

• Wash the potatoes well and cut them lengthwise, leaving the peel on, into 6 pieces. Place them in a baking tray with the rosemary, salt, pepper and 1 crushed garlic clove. Sprinkle with olive oil and cook at 180°C (356° F) for about 1 hour.
• Cut the chicken breast into large pieces and fry in a hot pan with a little cooking oil, turning when browned on one side.
• Add the thyme, a sliced garlic clove, the olives and then the wine. Add salt and pepper to taste.
• When the wine has reduced by half, add the tomatoes and let everything cook on low heat, until the chicken is done and the acidity reduced.
• Serve the dish by placing a chicken breast on each plate alongside a generous portion of the roasted potatoes and olives. Drizzle any pan juices over the chicken and garnish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs, if desired.
