Ingredients

  • 1 lb new potatoes
  • 4 oz Spanish chorizo sliced in ¼ inch rounds
  • 1/2 lemon cut into 6 slices
  • 1 clove garlic thinly sliced
  • 2 bone-in chicken breasts approximately 1-1 ½ lb
  • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary roughly chopped
  • salt & pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat a convection oven to 425 degrees.
  • Slice potatoes in half. If the potatoes are small, cut the chorizo in half. Coat a square baking dish with cooking oil and layer 1 slice (or ½ slice) of chorizo under ½ potato (cut side down). Scatter lemon and garlic slices around the pan..
  • Roast the potatoes for 15 minutes.
  • While the potatoes are roasting, slide the rosemary under the chicken skin. Liberally salt and pepper both sides of the chicken and set aside (at room temperature) until the potatoes have cooked for 15 minutes.
  • Top the potatoes with the chicken, cover pan with foil and return to oven for an additional 15 minutes.
  • Turn temperature down to 350 degrees but do not open the oven. Cook for another 15 minutes.
  • Uncover and cook for an additional 15-20 minutes, until chicken skin is crispy and juices run clear.
