Garlic Chicken and Potatoes Recipe

Photo: Garlic Chicken and Potatoes Recipe
Ingredients:

2 pounds small red-skinned potatoes, quartered
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds (optional)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
1 lemon (1/2 juiced, 1/2 cut into wedges)
Pinch of red pepper flakes
4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts (1 1/2 to 1 3/4 pounds)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro or parsley


Preparation:

Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F. Toss the potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, the cumin seeds, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste. Spread in a large baking dish and roast until the potatoes begin to brown, 25 to 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until lightly golden, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the brown sugar, lemon juice and red pepper flakes.

Remove the baking dish from the oven, push the potatoes to the sides and arrange the chicken breasts in the middle. Season the chicken with salt and drizzle with the garlic mixture. Return to the oven and bake until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven; transfer the chicken to a cutting board and slice. Add the cilantro to the baking dish and toss with the potatoes. Serve the chicken with the potatoes and lemon wedges. Drizzle with the pan juices.

Ingredients
For the marinade
1tsp cinnamon
1tsp ground ginger
½tsp turmeric
½tsp black pepper
1tsp salt
1tbsp olive oil
1 large chicken breasts, diced
25g butter
1 large red onion, thinly sliced

500g couscous accompaniment
1 red pepper, roasted and diced (optional)

Preparation

Mix all of the dry marinade ingredients together with 1tbsp olive oil. Stir in the chicken to coat well. Heat a large frying pan until very hot and quickly brown the chicken on all sides. Remove the chicken and any cooking juices from the pan and set aside in a bowl.

In a clean saucepan heat the butter and remaining oil. Add the onions and garlic and gently fry for 4 - 5 minutes without colouring.

Add the chicken and cooking juices, apricots, honey and water and stir well. Allow to simmer gently for approx 1 hour with the lid on or until the apricots are tender and the sauce has thickened. Stir frequently to prevent sticking or burning the base of the pan.

In a bowl, mix together the yogurt, half a tablespoon oil, garlic and herbs. Add the chicken fillets, cover and leave to marinate for a couple of hours or overnight.

Preheat the grill. Place the chicken and its marinade into a foil-lined grill pan. Cook for about 8 minutes until just cooked through, then wrap in the foil and leave to rest for a couple of minutes.

Meanwhile, boil the potatoes until tender, drain, smash roughly with a fork and stir in the remaining olive oil and the zest. Season to taste and garnish with some parsley leaves.

Serve the chicken with the potatoes and some salad.
