Preparation

  • In a large bowl mix the spices with lemon juice and olive oil. Add the chicken thighs and make sure they’re fully coated with the marinade.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Place the potatoes, onions and half of the peppers at the bottom of a baking dish. Top with the marinated chicken. Top with more onions and pepper and the tomatoes.
  • Mix the water with olive oil, garlic, salt, Aleppo pepper, oregano and tomato paste. Pour over the chicken and vegetables.
  • Roast in the oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour until the chicken and vegetables are fully cooked. Check after 35 minutes and if the dish is too low on liquid, add ½ cup boiling water.

Notes

You can use red pepper flakes instead of Aleppo pepper. Use vegetable or chicken stock instead of water for the tomato sauce if desired. This dish is versatile; add other vegetables like green peas, green beans, carrots, cauliflower or zucchini. Serve with a fresh side dish or starchy sides like Turkish bulgur pilaf or rice pilaf with orzo. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
