Lebanese Chicken and Potatoes


I've had this recipe stored for awhile now, and finally decided to try it last weekend when Irene showed her face. It was cloudy and rainy and some baked chicken and potatoes sounded delish. It's a very simple dish, pure in taste and easy! Perfect for a work night when you don't want to slave in the kitchen and easy enough that your husband can throw it together if you don't feel like it!

WHAT YOU NEED:
8 cut up chicken pieces
4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
salt to taste
pepper to taste
cumin to taste
allspice to taste
4 cloves of garlic, minced
1/4 cup of extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup of lemon juice

Start by preheating your oven to 425 degrees. Place your chicken and potatoes in a large baking dish and season with salt, pepper, cumin and allspice generously. In a small bowl combine the garlic, olive oil and lemon juice. Pour the mixture over the chicken and potatoes and cover your dish with foil. Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove foil, increase oven temperature to 475 degrees and cook until chicken and potatoes are golden, about 40 more minutes. Let it cool and dig in!
