Cast Iron Chicken With Mint Chutney – this is a full meal recipe with vegetables!  This dinner dish uses fresh mint on baked chicken breasts, along with carrots, potatoes and onions!  Your entire family will love this healthy one skillet pan meal!

Being a part of a Community Garden is lots of fun, especially when you get to share a overabundance of a vegetable that’s growing well.  A perk of being a Community Garden member is when you get gifted beautiful, fresh mint from a fellow gardener.   Is there anything better smelling than mint that’s just been picked? Yum!

So with a large pile of mint sitting in my kitchen, I wanted to come up with a recipe that would showcase it.  Of course you can dry mint for tea, but for this I wanted to make a dinner dish!   That’s how I came up with this Cast Iron Chicken With Mint Chutney recipe!

How to Make Mint Chutney

This mint chutney recipe doesn’t require cilantro, we’re letting the mint shine in it.   To make the chutney we’re going to need mint, onion, jalapeno pepper, lemon juice, sugar, olive oil, salt and water.

Can we talk about jalapeno peppers real quick?  Your jalapeno plant in the garden will probably produce way too many peppers for you to enjoy!  Yes, you should make candied jalapenos, but you can also easily freeze the peppers whole! All you do is throw them in a freezer bag and pop them into the freezer – then you’ll have a jalapeno pepper whenever you need one!

Add all your ingredients into your food processor and give it a full pulses until everything is completely chopped up.

This is the consistency we’re after after a full pulses.  The onion and pepper should be almost completely chopped up.

Cast Iron Chicken Breast Recipe

Add 2 pounds of boneless chicken breasts into your cast iron skillet.   Add about 1/4 of the mint chutney on top of the chicken, spreading it around.

Fry your chicken breasts until they’re golden brown on both sides, this usually takes about 10 minutes.  While you’re doing this preheat your oven.

Now chop up your vegetables we’re going to use to make this a 1 pan meal.   Chop up potatoes, carrots and onions and pour a little bit of olive oil on top.  Using your hands (or a spoon!) mix them around so the olive oil coats all the veggies.

Now bake this dish for 45 minutes with aluminum foil on and 15 more minutes with no foil.  This is the perfect time that will leave the vegetables tender!
