Cheesy Potato Topped Chicken Breast

This is a basic grilled or pan-fried chicken breast with a little difference – topped with cheesy potato rather than having the spuds served on the side.

This dish is nice with a salad, or a side of steamed vegetables. The bonus of using vegetables is that you can add them to any leftover potato mixture for bubble and squeak the next day (just fry the mixture in a little butter like fritters).

  • 1/2 cup of tasty cheese, grated
  • 1 egg

Instructions

  1. Boil or steam whole potatoes until almost tender Cool and grate.

  4. Fry chicken in a little oil until brown on both sides until cooked through or grill under the griller/broiler until cooked. Place on a tray and top with the potato mixture.
