Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
- 500 grams Baby potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 piece Lemon, sliced
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and lightly grease a large baking sheet with olive oil or non-stick spray.
Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and cut them in half. If they are larger, quarter them for even cooking.
In a small bowl, mix the Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Rub 1 tablespoon of olive oil evenly over the chicken thighs and sprinkle half of the spice mixture onto both sides of the chicken.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the potatoes with the remaining olive oil and the other half of the spice mixture until evenly coated.
Spread the potatoes onto the prepared baking sheet in an even layer. Nestle the seasoned chicken thighs among the potatoes.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 75°C/165°F), and the potatoes are golden and tender.
For an extra crispy finish, switch the oven to broil mode for the final 3-5 minutes, keeping a close watch to prevent burning.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and garnish the dish with chopped parsley and a few lemon slices for a bright, fresh flavor.
Serve hot and enjoy your Cajun Spiced Chicken Potatoes with a side salad or crusty bread, if desired.
