roasted chicken breast with cherry tomatoes and asparagus
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.

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.

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?

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.

I cooked it with Rose wine, and it was wonderful! Also substituted Rosemary for Herbs de Provence - still good!

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!

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.

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.
