Chicken Pomme de Frites

Fancy name. Simple dish. This is a more "peasant" version of a dish I had at Bistro N in Dallas.
Yields 4 servings.

  • 4 chicken breasts (w/ skin)
  • 1/3 C melted butter (you can substitute olive oil for a healthier alternative)
  • 3 Tb lemon juice
  • 1 Tb parsley
  • 2 tsp minced garlic
  • 2 Tb flour
  • 3 lbs frozen steak-cut french fries
  • salt and pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 375. Rinse chicken. Lightly coat chicken with flour and place in glass baking dish. Mix together butter, lemon juice, parsley, and garlic in a small glass measuring cup. Pour over chicken. Bake for 20 minutes.

Spread fries on baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes (with your chicken). When the 20 min are up, place chicken on top rack and broil for 5 minutes (or until slightly brown and crispy on top). Take fries out to salt and pepper, then place back in the oven for 5 min as well.

Before you serve the fries with the chicken, dash some lemon juice on the fries, add a little more salt, and sprinkle with parsley. Voila!
