roasted chicken breast with cherry tomatoes and asparagus

roasted chicken breast with cherry tomatoes and asparagus

main courses | serves 1
Make this recipe for one in a snug-fitting baking dish or to save on washing-up, a little tinfoil tray.

Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/gas 6. Put 1 chicken breast, with its skin left on, in a bowl. Add 8 trimmed sticks of asparagus, 6 halved cherry tomatoes and the leaves from 1 sprig of fresh rosemary plus a whole sprig of rosemary as well. Toss everything together with a pinch of sea salt and freshly ground black pepper and a drizzle of olive oil. Put the veg into a tinfoil tray and place the chicken and rosemary sprig on top. Season well. Add some white wine and cook in the middle of the oven for 25 to 35 minutes. Serve drizzled with balsamic vinegar.

1. Devonne Sun 07 Feb 2010 @ 07:45 Just made this recipe for dinner tonight.Olive oil and balsamic vinegar will never get old! It was nice how the veggies were cooked right in with the chicken protein so you only needed one baking dish. I just added some rosemary flavoured rice and foccacia bread on the side and we had a balanced healthy meal with hardly any dishes to clean after. :) I didn't particularily care for the tomatoes in the recipe so I'm thinking next time some roasted red peppers would be a delicious as an alternative. I will definetly try this recipe again- it was quick, easy, and yummy!

2. Liz1993 Thu 22 Oct 2009 @ 16:13 This was a delicious meal. I doubled to serve two and added some spinach to the mix. Great recipe.

3. Ga Wed 10 Jun 2009 @ 09:42 I tried this recipe a couple of times but the chicken always turn out very very dry! I did not use aluminium foil because of the "metallic" after taste that it has but I did cover it with aluminium foil. Any tips?

4. loupen Sat 14 Feb 2009 @ 15:27 I tried this recipe twice and, as always, yum, yum., yum! The second time, I used the thigh fillet and, the result. . . juicier and yummier!

5. Littledrinker Mon 26 Jan 2009 @ 19:01 I've made this a whole heap of times and it's always a winner. And am about to make it again right now! ta

6. Shenille Tue 18 Nov 2008 @ 01:46 Yum looks delicious I'm gonna cook it tomorrow night for my family. Cause i kept asking my mum to get some asparagus, I didn't know what to do with it so i searched up the recipe and my mum looked at it and said I can cook it

P.S. I'm only 13 and I love to cook cause you inspired me.

8. Gemma Wed 23 Jul 2008 @ 17:11 Aww this was great! Have made this twice in a week. Goes really well with mash or potato dauphinoise. Well done Jamie! Loving your ideas.

11. Valentina Sun 08 Jun 2008 @ 08:46 I made this recipe and it was a hit. I live with three guys in a share house, and they kept coming into the kitchen because of the wonderful smell of rosemary and chicken roasting in the oven. It's easy and delicious! Thanks Jamie.

Syana,

You can also use alcohol-free wine. It often works just as well as ordinary wine. I reckon that it would be excellent with this recipe.

14. ru1 Sun 25 May 2008 @ 00:33 What a great recipe. It was so easy tho throw together. I put the thyme and some lemon slices under the skin, which i rubbed with salt pepper and cayenne. no brainer, and the girl friend was super impressed :) everyone's happy!

15. nathan emm Fri 04 Apr 2008 @ 20:50 I added some whole garlic cloves and squeezed a lemon over the chicken, also put some thyme in with it, served with some small roasties ..... Nice!

16. Burkey Wed 26 Mar 2008 @ 10:06 I cooked this tonight. It was so simple & easy - the outcome was delicious. I didn't have all the ingredients to hand but wanted to use up asparagus, tomatoes & chicken, no white wine on hand so used white wine vinegar (sprinkle)dried rosemary instead of fresh. This is one I am keeping for its taste & ease of preparation - will only improve with stipulated ingredients. Thanks Jamie!

17. Vikki Mon 10 Mar 2008 @ 14:07 I cooked it with Rose wine, and it was wonderful! Also substituted Rosemary for Herbs de Provence - still good!

18. pandisha de snoozer Thu 14 Feb 2008 @ 23:17 nice dish try adding a hint of garlic :)

19. Bayden Rank Thu 07 Feb 2008 @ 15:04 Sorry I am not Jamie - I reckon stock would work just fine. One thing my teetotal friend always claimed was that all of the alcohol cooks off leaving just a flavour.

20. Syana Mon 28 Jan 2008 @ 02:22 Hi Jamie :o)

This is just the recipe I was looking for. Simple to do. However, we don't drink wine or any liquer at all, what can I substitute it with? Chicken stock?

21. NL Sun 27 Jan 2008 @ 21:00 its great, it only takes a couple of minutes more than doing one of those packet things and the result is fantastic. you also know exactly where your chicen comes from.

22. MM Sat 12 Jan 2008 @ 00:07 This was a healthy, inexpensive, quick meal which I doubled to serve two. We didn't have any white wine so we used red and it was EXCELLENT. If anyone has done it w/white, would love to know what that was like.
