Preparation
Roast the vegetables
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Halve the potatoes (quarter if large). Remove the stem ends of the string beans. On a lined sheet pan, toss the potatoes with a drizzle of oil, ⅓ of the spices and S&P. Roast, stirring halfway, 15 to 18 min., until partially cooked. Remove from the oven and add the string beans, a drizzle of oil and S&P; toss well. Roast, 5 to 8 min., until the vegetables are tender.
Cook the chicken
Meanwhile, in a medium pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Pat the chicken* dry with paper towel; season with ½ the remaining spices and S&P. Cook, partially covered, 4 to 6 min. per side, until cooked through. Transfer to a plate, leaving any browned bits in the pan. Reserve the pan.
Make the sauce
In the same pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Sauté the garlic, 30 sec. to 1 min., until fragrant. Add the tomatoes, demi-glace, cream, ¼ cup water (double for 4 portions) and the remaining spices. Cook, stirring frequently, 2 to 3 min., until slightly reduced; season with S&P. Add 2 tbsp butter (double for 4 portions); stir well.
Plate your dish
Divide the chicken and vegetables between your plates. Spoon the sauce over the chicken. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking poultry to a minimum internal temperature of 74°C.
