MEXICAN CHICKEN AND POTATOES



Mexican Chicken and Potatoes image

This is a recipe I adapted from another recipe I found on this site. I changed it to my liking. It has more of a Mexican flare to it than Greek, like the original recipe. It sounds like there is too much liquid in the recipe, but it really turns out nicely.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 55m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut in 3/4 inch cubes (I used chicken strips instead, but you can use as much chicken as you want)
2 cups red potatoes, cubed
1 banana pepper, diced (or jalapeno)
1/2 yellow onion, chopped
1 beef bouillon cube, dissolved in 3/8 cup water
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Place chicken, potatoes, onions and jalapeños in a glass baking pan.
  • Mix well to get everything evenly distributed in the pan.
  • Pour the chicken bouillon over all.
  • Whisk olive oil, lemon juice, cumin and oregano together.
  • Pour over chicken and potato mixture.
  • Bake 35 minutes until chicken is cooked thoroughly and potatoes are tender.
  • This would be really good served with a nice crusty loaf of bread to soak up the juices.

CHIPOTLE CHICKEN TACOS WITH POTATOES AND GUACAMOLE



Chipotle Chicken Tacos with Potatoes and Guacamole image

These get our vote for the world's most enticing chicken tacos. Grinding the chicken yourself ensures that it's moist and flavorful, but if you buy it already ground, look for dark meat. Sliced radishes and limes make the dish especially fiesta-ready.

2 dried ancho chiles, stemmed, seeded, and torn into pieces
1 cup boiling water
1/2 pound small (about 2" diameter) tomatoes
1 (1/2"-thick) slice from middle of a large white onion
3 garlic cloves, peeled
1 tablespoon chopped canned chipotle chiles in adobo, including some of adobo
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
2 tablespoons cold water
12 fresh corn tortillas
1 (1/2-pound) Yukon Gold potato, peeled and cut into 1/2" cubes

Steps:

  • Begin filling:
  • Preheat broiler.
  • Soak ancho chiles in boiling water (1 cup), 5 minutes.
  • While chiles soak, broil tomatoes, onion slice, and garlic on a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet 3"-4" from heat, turning once, until lightly charred, 5-7 minutes.

  • Gently stir in potatoes and reheat.

CHICKEN WITH ROASTED GARLIC POTATOES



Chicken with Roasted Garlic Potatoes image

Golden chicken and potatoes roast together in a buttery seasoning that starts with Italian salad dressing mix.

Provided by dt

Time 2h30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 small heads garlic, unpeeled
¼ cup butter, at room temperature
1 (.6 ounce) package dry Italian salad dressing mix (such as Good Seasons®)
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
½ teaspoon ground paprika
1 (6 pound) roasting chicken
1 ½ pounds red new potatoes, halved

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Cut off and discard 1/2 inch from the top of each garlic head.
  • Combine butter, Italian dressing mix, thyme, and paprika in a large bowl.
  • Place chicken in a large roasting pan. Spread 1/2 of the butter mixture over the chicken skin.
  • Add potatoes to the bowl with the remaining butter mixture; toss until coated. Place potatoes in the pan around chicken, then add garlic heads, with cut-sides up.
  • Roast in the preheated oven until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 1 hour 50 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, should read 180 degrees F (82 degrees C). Remove from the oven, and let rest 10 minutes.
  • While the chicken is resting, remove garlic from the pan. Allow it to cool slightly, then slip garlic cloves from the skins. Place 1/2 of the garlic in a bowl; stir in potatoes and transfer to a platter.
  • Carve chicken and transfer to the platter.
  • Skim and discard fat from pan drippings; transfer drippings to a bowl. Mash remaining garlic into the drippings. Serve with chicken and potatoes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs work well in this recipe. If using chicken breasts, pound them to an even thickness so they cook evenly.
  • Season the chicken generously: A flavorful blend of spices, including chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder, adds depth of flavor to the chicken.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the chicken, make sure to give it enough space in the pan so that it browns evenly. Overcrowding the pan will cause the chicken to steam instead of sear.
  • Cook the chicken until it's cooked through: Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • Add the potatoes and peppers: Once the chicken is cooked, add the potatoes and peppers to the pan. Cook until the potatoes are tender and the peppers are softened.
  • Simmer in the sauce: Finally, add the salsa, chicken broth, and diced tomatoes to the pan. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings: Serve the Mexican chicken with potatoes with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, guacamole, shredded cheese, or chopped cilantro.

Conclusion:

This Mexican chicken with potatoes recipe is a flavorful and easy-to-make meal that's perfect for a weeknight dinner. The combination of tender chicken, crispy potatoes, and flavorful sauce is sure to please everyone at the table. Plus, it's a great way to use up leftover chicken.
