- 150g Cheese, grated (mozzarella, cheddar, or a blend)
- Fresh Parsley, chopped
- 3 cloves of Garlic, minced
For the Potatoes:
- 600g Potatoes, peeled and cut into wedges

- 1 Egg
- 1 tbsp Mustard
- 2 tbsp Vinegar (9%)
- Salt, to taste

Instructions
1. Prepare the Chicken
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).
- Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and Italian spice mix on both sides.
- In a baking dish, place the chicken breasts and top each one with a generous amount of grated cheese, minced garlic, and chopped fresh parsley.
2. Roast the Potatoes
- In a separate baking tray, toss the potato wedges with vegetable oil, salt, black pepper, and dried parsley.
- Arrange the potatoes in a single layer on the tray.
- Place both the chicken and potatoes in the preheated oven. Roast the chicken for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden and the chicken is cooked through. The potatoes should be roasted until crispy and golden brown, about the same time.
3. Make the Sauce
- In a blender or food processor, combine the vegetable oil, egg, mustard, vinegar, salt, black pepper, and minced garlic.
- Blend until the mixture emulsifies and thickens into a creamy sauce.
- Adjust seasoning to taste and set aside.
4. Serve
- Once the chicken and potatoes are done, remove them from the oven.
- Plate the chicken breasts, spooning some of the garlic sauce over each one.
