Make Chocolate-Spiced Chicken with Tomato Pasta Salad
Recipe Name: Chocolate-Spiced Chicken with Tomato Pasta Salad
Ingredients:
- 4 chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 100g dark chocolate, grated
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 4 cups salad greens
- 2 tomatoes, diced
- 1 cup cooked pasta
- 2 boiled eggs, sliced
- 2 potatoes, boiled and diced
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Step-by-Step Guide:
1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. In a small bowl, mix together the grated dark chocolate, sugar, pepper, salt, and cinnamon.
3. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides. Then, rub the chocolate-spice mixture onto the chicken, making sure to coat each breast evenly.
4. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Place the chicken breasts in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until they are browned.
5. Transfer the skillet with the chicken breasts to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
6. While the chicken is baking, prepare the tomato pasta salad. In a large bowl, combine the salad greens, diced tomatoes, cooked pasta, sliced boiled eggs, and diced potatoes.
7. In a separate small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of vinegar, salt, and pepper to taste. Pour this dressing over the salad mixture and toss gently to combine.
8. Once the chicken is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Then, slice the chicken breasts into thin strips.
9. Serve the chocolate-spiced chicken alongside the tomato pasta salad. Garnish with a sprinkle of grated dark chocolate, if desired.
