Pan-Fried Chicken Tenders with Roasted Potatoes, Tomatoes, and Green Beans

Ingredients:

• Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast Tenders


• Potatoes


• Tomatoes


• Salt


• Pepper


• Green Beans

Method:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) for roasting the potatoes, tomatoes, and green beans.

2. Start by preparing the vegetables. Peel and cut the potatoes into bite-sized chunks. Cut the tomatoes into halves. Trim the ends of the green beans, removing any tough or discolored parts.

3. Place the potatoes on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste, and toss to coat evenly. Spread them out in a single layer to ensure even roasting. Put the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and tender.

4. While the potatoes are roasting, season the chicken breast tenders with salt and pepper on both sides.

5. Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. When the pan is hot, add the chicken breast tenders and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. The exact cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the chicken tenders, so it's best to use a meat thermometer to ensure they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

6. In a separate pot, bring water to a boil for blanching the green beans. Once boiling, add the green beans and cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until they are bright green and slightly tender. Drain the green beans and immediately plunge them into a bowl of ice water to halt the cooking process and retain their vibrant color.

7. Once the potatoes are roasted and the chicken tenders are cooked, remove them from the oven and the pan, respectively. Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thinner pieces.

8. Arrange the roasted potatoes, tomatoes, and blanched green beans on a serving platter. Place the sliced chicken tenders on top of the vegetables.

9. Finally, season the dish with an extra sprinkle of salt and pepper, if desired, and serve immediately as a flavorful and fulfilling lunch!
