The chicken
- Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper and fry on both sides in a pan over a high heat. Then add the Parmesan crust over the chicken and place on a baking tray.
- Halve the cherry tomatoes and place them on the baking tray around the chicken. Season with salt and pepper.
- Place the tray in the oven and cook for 10 to 12 minutes at 180°C (355°F), until the chicken is firm to the touch and the crust becomes golden brown.
- Serve with creamy mashed potatoes.
Mashed potatoes
- Clean and cut the potatoes into cubes and boil them in salted water. When they are cooked throughout, drain and crush them with a masher. Incorporate the butter, making sure it melts completely. Then add the milk and a pinch of salt if necessary, kneading until you get a fine and fluffy mash.
