Chicken & Potatoes
Here is a very simple chicken dish with Middle Eastern flavors that everyone will love. It is very similar to the chicken my Mom used to make often. Its simplicity makes it stress-free, and therefore it is a favorite dish in my kitchen as well. You will need a large baking pot with a lid, and you are ready to go!
Here is what you need:
12 pieces of chicken, bone-in (remove the skin)
8-10 small potatoes
2 onions, chunks
1 garlic head cut in half (horizontally)
1/3 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon cumin
1 tablespoon za’atar
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Optional: thyme or rosemary sprigs (or any fresh herbs you have on hand)
2-3 teaspoons sea salt
Freshly ground pepper
Let’s do this:
1. Clean and pat the chicken dry.
2. Combine all of the ingredients in a large baking dish with a lid. Toss everything with your hands, making sure to arrange the mixture evenly in the dish.
3. Bake covered at 375°F for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
