Ingredients

  • 2 large Chicken breast on the bone
  • 1 tbsp Extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp Paprika
  • 1 tsp Garlic powder
  • 4 slices Crusty bread toasted

Gremolata

  • 3 tbsp Extra-virgin olive oil or more if needed

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Rub the chicken with oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
  • Heat an oven-safe skillet or sauté pan on medium heat. Place the chicken skin side down in the pan until the skin is golden brown and crisp. Transfer the pan to the oven and roast, until a thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the meat, (not near a bone), registers 160°F. Transfer the chicken to a carving board and let rest for 5 minutes. Then remove the bones and cartilage from the chicken and cut in half lengthwise.
  • While the chicken is cooking place all of the ingredients for the sauce into a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth. Taste and adjust any of the ingredients as needed. Season with salt and pepper. Then set aside.
  • Drizzle the sauce over the chicken and serve with bread.
