Stuffed Chicken Thighs with Potatoes
Ingredients
- 1 quartered onion
- 4 garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon chopped ginger
- 1/2 bunch parsley
- 1/2 bunch fresh cilantro
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 12 chicken thighs
- 4 large potatoes
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
Preparation
Set the oven rack and preheat the oven to 180°C. Prepare a baking dish.
Peel the potatoes and cut them into thick fingers.
In a food processor, combine onion, garlic, ginger, parsley, cilantro, tomato paste, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, paprika, turmeric, cumin, and olive oil. Blend until smooth to make a marinade.
Take a chicken thigh, loosen the skin slightly, make cuts with a knife, stuff the cavity with the marinade, and cover with the skin.
Add some of the marinade to the potatoes and mix well to coat.
Arrange the potatoes in the baking dish, place the stuffed chicken thighs on top, add a little water to the remaining marinade and pour it over the chicken. Cover the dish and bake in the oven for 30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked.
