The warmth of a Mediterranean breeze plays all over this stylish supper. It starts with roasted baby potatoes, turned to gold and fork-tender in the heat of the oven. Plate them with a lively salad composed of boiled string beans, tomatoes and green olives, all dressed in quickly made whole-grain mustard vinaigrette. Slices of juicy pan-seared chicken are the kicker for sustenance, while big airy croutons are the clincher for crunchiness.

Preparation
Roast the potatoes
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Halve the potatoes (quarter if large). On a lined sheet pan, toss with a drizzle of oil, ⅓ of the spices and S&P. Roast, stirring halfway, 20 to 25 min., until browned and tender.
Cook the chicken
Meanwhile, in a large 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 cutting board and let rest for 5 min. before slicing against the grain.
Mise en place
Meanwhile, halve the olives crosswise. Large-dice the tomatoes. Remove the stem ends of the string beans. Halve, peel and mince the shallot. In a large bowl, make the vinaigrette by combining the vinegar, mustard, shallot (start with ½ for a milder flavour), 3 tbsp olive oil (double for 4 portions), the remaining spices and S&P.
Boil the string beans
Add the string beans to the pot of boiling water and boil, 2 to 3 min., until crisp-tender. Drain the string beans.
Make the salad
To the bowl of vinaigrette, add the string beans, tomatoes, olives and S&P; toss well.
Plate your dish
Divide the potatoes and salad between your bowls. Top with the chicken. Garnish with the croutons. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking poultry to a minimum internal temperature of 74°C.
