Grilled Chicken Breast with Spiced Mini Potatoes and Fennel Salad

Finally the new potatoes come from the Münsterland! the wet and cold spring has caused a decent delay, but now we just had the first ones, among them still very tiny ones. This reminds me of a potato recipe from “Vegetarian cooking for guests”. There, the author envisions the mini potatoes as finger food - I use them as a side dish for a grilled piece of chicken.

First, I marinate the

  • 2 chicken breasts.

They are large pieces, so I not only put them in seasoned oil, but I also put

  • 2 cloves of garlic in thin slices.
  • 1 piece of ginger root, peeled and thinly sliced

in the middle of the fillet pockets. I remove these slices again before eating, they don’t really soften. But they give off aroma. I mix the oil with

  • fennel seeds, coarsely mortared
  • anise seeds, coarsely mortared
  • pepper, coarsely mortared
  • thyme

As chicken pulls for about 30 minutes before it goes into the grill pan and roasts there for about 15 minutes total. The oven is preheated to 220 °, and now I cook

  • 500 g mini potatoes

in the skin for 5 minutes in well salted water. Then I let them steam off in an ovenproof dish and mix them with a spice paste made of

  • 1/2 tbsp. coriander seeds, mortared
  • 1/2 tbsp. cumin seeds, crushed
  • 1/4 tsp turmeric, ground
  • 1/4 tsp. piment d’Espelette
  • 1/2 tsp homemade celery salt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar

The dish now goes into the oven for a good 15 minutes until the potatoes are cooked. For the salad I chop

1 fennel bulb

in very fine slices and mix it immediately with a vinaigrette of

over the salad comes later some chopped fennel green as decoration. Finally I still produce sauce from

yogurt the spice leftovers from the potato bowl

Arrange everything - ready is a very spicy dinner. I’m especially pleased that the elderflower vinegar harmonizes so nicely with the fennel….
