Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
- 1 cup (chopped) Fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 1 cup (chopped) Fresh cilantro
- 4 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Red chili flakes
- 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 piece Lemon (juiced)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 500 grams Baby potatoes
- 1 piece (cut into strips) Red bell pepper
- 1 piece (sliced) Zucchini
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil (2 tablespoons), red wine vinegar, chopped parsley, chopped cilantro, minced garlic, red chili flakes, cumin, paprika, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the chimichurri marinade.
Place the chicken thighs in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour half of the chimichurri marinade over the chicken, reserving the other half for serving. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to overnight) to marinate.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large baking dish, toss the baby potatoes, red bell pepper strips, and zucchini slices with the remaining olive oil (2 tablespoons), a pinch of salt, and black pepper.
Remove the chicken thighs from the marinade and arrange them on top of the vegetables in the baking dish.
Roast the chicken and vegetables in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Stir the vegetables halfway through cooking for even roasting.
Once cooked, remove the dish from the oven. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes.
Drizzle the reserved chimichurri sauce over the roasted chicken and vegetables before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy a taste of Argentina!
