Thyme-Roasted Cubed Potatoes and Lemon Chicken

>> Wednesday, June 10, 2009 –  ,

This one's easy, it's a slightly modified Jamie Oliver recipe.

Cut up potatoes into small cubes, you can leave the skins on if they're decent ones. Pre Heat the oven to 425, with a roasting pan of olive oil in there. You can use leftover roasting fat (chicken, goose etc) if you have some.

Bring the potatoes to the boil in salted water. Then strain and leave to steam for a bit in a colander. Dice some garlic. Pull the now HOT olive oil out of the oven when it has reached temperature. Carefully put the potatoes in and mix them up in the oil so they're totally covered. Add the garlic and some thyme. Mix it up again and throw (not literally) into the oven. Cook for 30 minutes or until golden brown.

The chicken is just regular chicken breasts cooked in butter and lemon juice.


Not hugely excited I know. The husband seemed to like it though.

I am a 24 year old British stay at home mother to a two year old boy. Married to a U.S. soldier and currently living in Germany.

I have seen the Vatican from the very top of St Peter's Basilica, the mud in the World War I trenches outside Ypres. I have walked through Montmartre side streets bustling with people in the evening, gotten lost in the streets of Greenwich Village NYC, run through cornfields on the Welsh border and sat outside with a cup of tea watching fireflies in the fields of the outer Chicago suburbs.

I have held the hands of others through addiction, fear, suicide, despair and come out the other side. I have left everything behind to begin anew.
I have fought mental illness and walked through snow in the mountains of the lake district, England. I have explored the morgue in the bowels of an abandoned hospital on a summer evening, climbed to the top of scaffolding on the outside of a five floor warehouse to look at the city lights of Nottingham at night and I have watched the sun setting on the Texas horizon.

I have held my son's tiny hand through the plastic window on an isolette in the NICU ward. Walked, speaking only in whispers, through the catacombs beneath the ground on the outskirts of Rome and seen the fireworks over Heidelberg castle.
