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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and lightly grease a large baking sheet with olive oil or non-stick spray.
Step 2
Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and cut them in half. If they are larger, quarter them for even cooking.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix the Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Rub 1 tablespoon of olive oil evenly over the chicken thighs and sprinkle half of the spice mixture onto both sides of the chicken.
Step 5
In a large mixing bowl, toss the potatoes with the remaining olive oil and the other half of the spice mixture until evenly coated.
Step 6
Spread the potatoes onto the prepared baking sheet in an even layer. Nestle the seasoned chicken thighs among the potatoes.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
For an extra crispy finish, switch the oven to broil mode for the final 3-5 minutes, keeping a close watch to prevent burning.
Step 9
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and garnish the dish with chopped parsley and a few lemon slices for a bright, fresh flavor.
Step 10
Serve hot and enjoy your Cajun Spiced Chicken Potatoes with a side salad or crusty bread, if desired.
