Equipment

  • baking dish

Ingredients
  

Spices and Marinade

  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon coriander
  • 1 lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil extra virgin
  • 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs

Vegetables

  • 1 russet potato peeled and cut into chunks
  • 1 white onion cut into chunks
  • 1 green bell pepper cut into chunks
  • 1 red bell pepper cut into chunks
  • 1 orange bell pepper cut into chunks
  • 1 large tomato cut into chunks

Tomato Sauce

  • ¾ cup water
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil extra virgin
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon Aleppo pepper or pul biber
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 2 tablespoon tomato paste

Instructions
 

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 or pul biber. Use vegetable or chicken stock instead of water to make the tomato sauce if desired. This dish is very versatile; you can add other vegetables such as green peas, green beans, carrots, cauliflower, or zucchini. Serving suggestions: Serve this with a fresh side dish such as Mediterranean salad or Turkish tomato salad (gavurdagi), cacik (Turkish yogurt and cucumbers) and some freshly baked pide bread. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container and refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
