This recipe for Chicken Breast with Potatoes and Peppers is a delicious combination that combines the flavor of chicken meat with the crunchiness of roasted potatoes and the sweetness of peppers. It is a simple yet elegant recipe, perfect for a family dinner or a special occasion. Its origins are lost in history and it was a popular dish in many cultures where chicken was considered a delicacy. Let our culinary adventure begin!

Step 1: Marinating the chicken breast
Start by preparing the marinade for the chicken breast. In a medium bowl, add the finely chopped onion, two crushed garlic cloves, salt, pepper, thyme and red wine. For extra flavor, add a drizzle of olive oil. Mix the ingredients well to form a smooth marinade.

Spread the chicken breast in the marinade, making sure it is evenly coated. Leave to marinate for 30 minutes at room temperature. This step will not only improve the flavor of the chicken, but also make it tender.

Step 2: Prepare the potatoes
In the meantime, peel the potatoes and wash them well under cold water. Dice or slice them, depending on your preference. It is important to cut them evenly so that they cook evenly. In a deep pan, add oil and heat over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the potatoes and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 10-15 minutes. Remember to stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 3: Cooking the chicken breast
Once the chicken breast has marinated, remove it from the marinade and pat gently with a paper towel to remove excess marinade. Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breast and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness of the meat. If you prefer a crispier chicken breast, you can leave a little longer on the grill. Make sure the chicken is cooked through, with no pink inside.

Step 4: Sauté the peppers
In a separate pan, add the butter and let it melt over medium heat. Add the pepper mixture and sauté for 2-3 minutes, just until the peppers are slightly softened, but still retain their vibrant color. This technique ensures the peppers retain their texture and fresh taste.

Step 5: Assemble the dish
Now that all the components are ready, it's time to assemble the plate. Place the fries on a plate and place the chicken breast on top. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan over the chicken, allowing it to melt slightly from the heat of the meat. Place the blanched peppers on the edge of the plate to add a splash of color and texture.

Serving suggestions:
This recipe can be served with a dry white wine or a chilled cocktail, and for an extra touch, add a few leaves of fresh basil or dill as a garnish. A simple green salad or mashed or mashed potatoes can also complement this dish perfectly.
