Originally made this on March 21st 2018. It might look a bit stodgy, but tastes fantastic!

An egg in a bowl to help coat the chicken

Spice mix for the chicken coating :
pepper

herbs de provence
cumin

Method:

wash the potatoes
slice them Hasselback style ie. about half-way through at gaps of about 5mm (see photo for a better idea)

Whilst the potato is cooking, with the flattened chicken breast :
dip chicken in the spice mix
dip chicken in the egg bowl
dip chicken in the mix again
put chicken on tin foil and drizzle with some oil

Remove the potatoes from the oven and put more goosefat over them
Put the potatoes back in the oven, along with the chicken
Cook for another 30mins

The Vegetables & Gravy
