Roasted Chicken Breasts with Romesco Sauce

This thick, vibrantly colored sauce has a sweet, smoky, earthy flavor. It's great with the spiced chicken breasts here, and you'll also want to try it with grilled beef, pork, vegetables and fish.

Method

Preheat oven to 350°F. 


Mix salt, pepper and pimentón in a small bowl. Rub chicken all over with mixture, both under skin and on skin. 


Transfer to a baking pan and drizzle with the olive oil. 


Bake until juices run clear when chicken is pierced with a knife, 35 to 40 minutes. 


Cover chicken with foil and let rest 5 minutes before slicing.


Meanwhile, make the sauce by combining almonds and bread in a food processor and process until finely ground. 


Add garlic, tomato, roasted peppers, vinegar, salt and pimentón; process until a thick purée forms, stopping to scrape down sides of bowl as needed. 


With machine running, add oil in slow stream. Pulse until combined. 


Taste and adjust seasoning.


Slice chicken and serve with Romesco sauce.
