Baked Chicken with Vegetables

Ingredients

• 6 bone-in, skinless chicken thighs (Cut each thigh in half; make deep cuts. The source lists 6 thighs.)
• 3 tbsp whole milk yogurt
• 2 tbsp sour cream
• 3 tbsp oil
• 2 tbsp tomato paste (Listed as an ingredient, although it is not mentioned in the written marinade instruction.)
• 2 cloves garlic (2–3 cloves, minced)
• 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 2 tsp paprika
• 1 tbsp garlic powder
• salt (To taste)
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 2 small onions (Chopped)
• 1 red bell pepper (Chopped; the source writes “1 red bell peppers.”)
• 1 green bell pepper (Chopped; the source writes “1 green bell peppers.”)
• 8 small potatoes (8–9 small potatoes, peeled and chopped)

Steps

1. 1

   Cut the chicken thighs in half and remove any skin. Make deep cuts in the chicken and set it aside.

2. 2

   In a bowl, whisk together the oil, yogurt, sour cream, lemon juice, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. The source lists tomato paste as an ingredient, but does not explicitly include it in this written marinade instruction; add it to the marinade if following the complete ingredient list.

3. 3

   Place the chicken in the marinade and turn it so that all surfaces are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for 2–3 hours.

4. 4

   Chop the onions and bell peppers, and peel and chop the potatoes.

5. 5

   Remove the chicken from the marinade and set it aside. Add the chopped vegetables to the remaining marinade and mix well so they are coated.

6. 6

   Pour the vegetable mixture into a baking dish and spread it out.

7. 7

   Arrange the marinated chicken pieces on top of the vegetables. Cover the dish with parchment paper.

8. 8

   Bake in a preheated oven at 220–230°C (425–445°F) for 40 minutes with the parchment paper covering the dish.

9. 9

   Remove the parchment paper and continue baking for an additional 30–35 minutes.

10. 10

    Cooking time may vary depending on the oven; if needed, continue cooking a little longer. Serve hot.

Notes

The source does not provide a specific doneness temperature and says cooking time may vary by oven. Tomato paste appears in the ingredient list but is omitted from the written marinade step; its intended use is therefore slightly ambiguous.
