Paprika Chicken:

  • 4 chicken thighs bone-in skin-on
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon coriander
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon turmeric
  • ½ cup chicken stock
  • 3 sprigs thyme

Olive Walnut Vinaigrette:

  • ½ cup Castelvetrano olives sliced
  • ½ cup toasted walnuts chopped
  • ½ cup parsley chopped
  • ¼ cup basil chopped
  • 1 garlic minced
  • ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • ¼ cup sherry vinegar
  • salt and pepper
  • Garlic parmesan roasted potatoes
  • 2 pounds baby golden potatoes halved
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • salt and pepper
  • ¼ cup grated parmesan

Instructions
 

  • Marinate chicken. Combine chicken thighs with olive oil, lemon juice, paprika, coriander, lemon zest, salt, pepper, and turmeric, tossing to coat. Let sit for at least 1 hour or overnight.
  • Meanwhile, make olive walnut vinaigrette. Combine sliced olives with chopped walnuts, parsley, basil, garlic, extra virgin olive oil, and sherry vinegar in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper and let sit for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Pour ½ cup chicken stock and 3 sprigs thyme in bottom of a sheet pan. Place marinated chicken directly on top and roast for 40-45 minutes or until golden brown and the juices run clear. Let rest for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, roast potatoes. Toss halved potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Lay on a sheet pan and roast for 30-35 minutes or until tender. Sprinkle parmesan on top and toss together.
  • Arrange potatoes and chicken on a serving platter. Spoon olive walnut vinaigrette on top and serve with extra vinaigrette on the side.

Notes:

  • You can marinate the chicken overnight if desired.
  • You can skip the garlic parmesan roasted potatoes and serve the chicken with any variety of sides such as mashed potatoes, egg noodles, rice pilaf, or roasted broccoli.
