2 to 3 shallots or small red onions
12 small red or white baby potatoes

1
In a large deep side pan, brown chicken breast in about a couple of tablespoons of olive oil. When browned on all sides take of heat and set aside.
2
Preheat oven to 425F.
3
In a large baking dish, I usually use a glass dish about 9X13, put garlic, shallots, peppers, potatoes,tomatoes,capers, olives, fresh herbs and toss with 3 more tbps of olive oil. Place browned chicken breast in pan surrounded by vegetables. I often add some grated orange peel at this point. Pour on the saffron and water and white wine if you have it. Place in pre-heated oven for approximately 40 minutes ( depending on your oven) until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender. Let rest a few minutes before serving. I often serve some fresh green beans on the side for colour or a simple salad.
