Chicken and Cheese - Perfect Pairing- I call it Chicken Deluxe

Once again devising a menu from the fridge and pantry
I had read about Chicken coated in a Mayo and cheese mix.
It really worked ...so tender and juicy and plenty of flavour
You couldn’t get anything easier
I thought I would call this Chicken Deluxe
It was pretty delicious, well deserving of the flash name

On the side, Roast Potato Cubes and Greens a la Gilli Style, always popular with the kids
This amount will feed 6 people out in our case 5 with leftovers

You will need
A mix of boneless, skinless chicken breasts and thighs
For this amount of sauce, I had 3 breasts and 4 thighs

1/2 cup Parmesan  or Pecorino cheese
Zest of 1 Lemon
2 cloves of garlic finely chopped
1 tsp seasoning salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 cup Breadcrumbs toasted in a little butter

A potato per person peeled and and cut into cubes
Olive oil and salt and pepper

Handful of Green beans, a head Broccoli and 1 courgette turned into noodles

For the Chicken
In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise (or yogurt if substituting), cheese, garlic, lemon zest and the seasonings.
Oil a baking dish, sprinkle with salt and pepper
Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel, lay it out in the baking dish
Spread the mixture on top of each of the chicken breasts.
Sprinkle the breadcrumbs over the chicken

Place chicken into a baking dish and bake in a preheated oven,
200C for about 30 minutes, or until cooked through.
Rest for about 12 minutes
Serve warm or room temperature

The Potatoes
Bring the cubes to the boil from cold salted water

then add the chicken to oven and complete the cooking for another 30 minutes

Blanch the green beans in boiling water about 2 minutes. drain and set aside
In the same water add the broccoli, blanch for about 4 minutes
