A flavorful and comforting Paprika Chicken and Potatoes dish featuring tender, marinated chicken thighs roasted with a mix of sweet and gold potatoes, infused with aromatic spices and a touch of sweet date syrup or honey.

Ingredients

Potatoes

  • 2 large sweet potatoes
  • 4 gold potatoes
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed or 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

Chicken

  • 6 boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp silan (date syrup) or honey
  • Handful of parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 clove crushed garlic or 1/2 tsp garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting the potatoes and chicken.
  2. Prepare the potatoes: Cut the sweet and gold potatoes in half, then slice each half into approximately 3-inch wedges for even cooking.
  3. Toss potatoes with seasoning: Place the potato wedges in a baking dish and toss them thoroughly with 3 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon paprika, crushed garlic or garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to evenly coat them with flavor.
  4. Bake the potatoes: Roast the seasoned potatoes in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes until they are fork-tender and starting to soften.
  5. Marinate the chicken: While the potatoes bake, combine 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons silan (date syrup) or honey, chopped parsley, 1 tablespoon paprika, crushed garlic or garlic powder, salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Add the boneless chicken thighs and toss them to coat well. Let the chicken marinate during the potato baking time to absorb the flavors.
  6. Combine chicken and potatoes: After 30 minutes of baking, remove the baking dish from the oven. Give the potatoes a gentle toss, then arrange the marinated chicken thighs on top of the potatoes. Pour any remaining marinade over the chicken and potatoes for extra flavor.
  7. Finish cooking in the oven: Return the baking dish to the oven and continue roasting for another 35 minutes, allowing the chicken to cook through and develop a delicious, roasted crust.
  8. Garnish and serve: Once cooked, garnish the dish with extra chopped parsley for a fresh, vibrant finish before serving.

Notes

  • Using silan (date syrup) adds a unique sweetness and depth of flavor, but honey can be substituted if preferred.
  • For an even crispier finish, broil the dish for 2-3 minutes at the end of cooking, watching carefully to avoid burning.
  • Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs can be used but may require slightly longer cooking time.
  • This recipe is perfect for meal prepping as leftovers reheat well.
