Chicken fillet grilled with roasted vegetables
Components
- 2 fillets of chicken breast
- Half a teaspoon of salt
- A small pinch of sweet paprika
- Add ground pepper gradually to achieve the desired flavor.
- 1 teaspoon of olive oil
Setup phase
- Begin preparing the pe-eff by seasoning each chicken fillet with 1/4 teaspoon of salt, a pinch of paprika, and pepper to taste, making sure to evenly coat the entire surface using your hands. Place the fillets in a lidded pot and refrigerate while you prepare the roasted vegetables — the chicken can be marinated up to 24 hours ahead.
- When grilling the chicken, take the fillets out of the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for at least 10 minutes — they should not be frozen when placed in the pan.
- Heat an average-sized, preferably non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add half a teaspoon of olive oil and place a fillet with the smooth side down to prevent it from flattening in the pan. Cook for 2 minutes on each side, then reduce the heat—this method will seal in the juices and keep the fillet tender.
- Allow the chicken fillet to cook on low heat for 3 minutes per side. Cooking time may differ based on the fillet's size and thickness. Note: keep the heat low to prevent the meat from burning on the outside while remaining raw inside. Repeat with the second fillet, or cook both simultaneously if your skillet is large enough. Serve alongside baked vegetables, rice, and beans seasoned with pepper and paprika.
For pulses
Components
- One zucchini
- One yellow bell pepper
- 1 chayote
- 5 radishes
- 3 tablespoons of olive oil
- Five sprigs of thyme
- 1 teaspoon of ground cumin
- A quarter teaspoon of dried calabresa pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
Ready state
- Set the oven to 220 °C (high heat) to preheat.
- Using a vegetable brush, rinse the zucchini, pepper, and radish skins under running water. Thoroughly dry the vegetables with a dish towel—the drier they are, the better they will bake.
- Trim the ends and slice the zucchini into thick rounds approximately 1 cm wide. Halve the pepper lengthwise, remove the stem and seeds, then cut each half into 1 cm-wide strips. Slice the radishes into rounds.
- Remove the peel, rinse the chuchu under running water, and thoroughly dry it with a dishcloth to prevent slipping while cutting. Slice the chuchu in half lengthwise and use a spoon to remove the seed. Cut each half in half widthwise; for the thinner sections, cut into three lengthwise strips, and for the thicker sections, into four strips. Finally, chop the strips into 2 cm pieces.
- In a small bowl, combine the olive oil with a teaspoon of salt, cumin, and Calabrian pepper to help season the vegetables more evenly.
- Place the chopped vegetables in the middle of a large baking tray, add the thyme sprigs and water along with the warmed olive oil. Use your hands to thoroughly combine everything, ensuring all the pieces are coated with the seasoning.
- Arrange the vegetables on the baking tray, ensuring they are well spaced to achieve a golden finish. Bake them in the oven for approximately 30 minutes, turning them with a spatula halfway through to ensure even browning. Once done, take the vegetables out of the oven and get the chicken fillets ready.
