4 Ingredients
4 chicken thigh fillets, skin on and bone in (about 8oz
/250 g
each) (Note 1) 8 - 12 baby potatoes, scrubbed and skin on, halved (or 3 medium potatoes, cut into 4) (Note 2) 2 chorizo (5 - 6 oz / 150 - 200g in total), cut into ⅓cm / ⅛" slices (Note 3) 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 small red capsicum (bell pepper), cut into slices 1 small red onion, halved and cut into slices (or ordinary onion) 1 can (15oz/400g) crushed tomatoes 1 tbsp dried oregano ½ to 1 punnet cherry tomatoes (Note 4) Rub 2 tbsp lemon juice (Note 5) 1½ tbsp paprika ¼ - ½ tsp cayenne or chilli powder (adjust to taste for spiciness) 1½ tsp salt Black pepper Garnish (optional) Fresh oregano leaves Instructions Preheat oven to 350F/180C. Combine the Rub ingredients in a small bowl. Slather over the chicken. Boil or microwave the potatoes until slightly undercooked. Heat the oil in a large, deep fry pan or oven proof casserole dish over high heat. Add the chicken, skin side down, and cook unit light brown - about 1 to 1½ minutes. Then turn and cook the other side until a slightly deeper brown - about the same time. Remove into a big bowl. Add the chorizo and fry until light brown on each side - about 1 minute (each side). Remove into the same bowl as the chicken. If the pan is looking dry (depends on fattiness of chicken and chorizo), add 1 tbsp of olive oil. I did not need this. Add the garlic, capsicum (bell pepper) and onion and sauté for 2 minutes until the capsicum is slightly charred. It will be extra charred from the dark brown residue from the chorizo and chicken. Add the canned tomatoes and oregano and stir to combine, scraping the bottom of the pan. Then add the potato, chicken, chorizo and cherry tomatoes. Nestle the chicken in so it is half submerged in the tomato. Bring to simmer, then cover with a lid (I use a lid from a large pot) or foil and bake for 30 to 40 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and dark brown. Serve, garnished with fresh oregano leaves if desired. Notes 1. I like to make this with bone in, skin on chicken thigh fillets. But it can be substituted with boneless, skinless chicken thigh fillets or drumsticks. Breast will also work but is not as juicy.2. You can use as much or as little potato in this as you want.3. This is made using the cured chorizo you get from delis. You can use raw chorizo (it looks like ordinary raw sausages, but much more red) but it will be harder to slice because it is like slicing raw sausages.4. The pan I used was a tad too small so I could only squeeze in about ½ a punnet of tomatoes. I would have preferred to use a whole punnet.5. You can substitute the lemon with wine or sherry vinegar or any other light vinegar. Otherwise, just use half ordinary vinegar (even balsamic is ok) and half water. 3.2.2646
If you know ahead of time that you’re not a fan I guess this one isn’t for you although I would maybe try it with a rub of spices like paprika, garlic powder and salt and pepper
Sprinkle with fresh parsley and lemon slices or wedges, serve warm. You can line a sturdy baking sheet with heavy duty foil for easier clean up if you’d like
Wash and pat chicken dry with a paper towel. Salt to season (with a pinch of salt, ONLY if desired). Add the onion and remaining garlic to the remaining sauce leftover from the chicken in the pan

SeasonedChicken Wanting that Lemon all over It. The grocery store’s potato bins were empty of red potatoes, and there was only one bag of red potatoes left and a couple of bags of russets
Season chickenwith salt and pepper on both sides. Season asparagus with salt and pepper, to taste. (Chicken should be nearly, but not completely cooked through by this point)
