Ingredients
For the Chicken
- 2 teaspoons ground paprika
- ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
For the Romesco Sauce
- 12 ounces roasted red peppers drained (1 jar)
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1 clove garlic peeled
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- ½ teaspoon ground paprika
- ¼ cup toasted almonds
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- In a small dish, combine the spice rub ingredients. Rub the mixture over the chicken breasts to coat. Place the chicken breasts on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil.
- Roast the chicken in the oven for 20-25 minutes until the chicken is cooked through to 165°F.
- While the chicken is roasting, combine the romesco ingredients in a food processor. Pulse until the mixture is pureed. Heat the sauce on the stovetop so it is warmed through to serve.
- When the chicken has finished cooking, spoon the romesco sauce over the chicken before serving. Or, layer a spoonful or two of romesco sauce on a plate and serve the chicken breast over the sauce.
Notes
- Storage: Store chicken romesco in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Rub the spice mix all over the breasts so that they are evenly coated.
- Bake the chicken in a pre-heated oven so that they cook evenly.
- If you can, use organic / free run chicken that hasn't been raised on antibiotics.
