Though my last iCook post was with potatoes and chicken, it is a coincidence that this one is also with potatoes and chicken. However, this is a completely different meal – both in taste and in preparation. For starters, I didn’t make the recipe up myself. I followed a recipe from McCormick.
Before I cooked this meal, I had never tasted it. In fact, I had never cooked with Rosemary, so I did not know what to expect. I only likened Rosemary leaves to thyme leaves (they do look alike), so I went in with an open mind, literally.
Ingredients I Used:
1. 2 teaspoons of paprika
2. 1 1/2 (one and half) teaspoons of crushed rosemary leaves
3. 1 teaspoon of minced garlic
4. 1/2 (half) teaspoon of coarse ground black pepper
5. 2 tablespoons of olive oil
6. 1 tablespoon of salt
7. 8 boneless pieces of chicken thighs (skinless too)
8. 1 1/2 (one and half) pounds of small red potatoes, cut into cubes. Don’t peel the skin off. I believe I used six pieces, maybe eight (pictured below)
Red skin potatoes, washed and cut into cubes.
It’s extremely easy to prepare. Prepping time is about 15 minutes, and cooking time is about 30 minutes. The taste isn’t your typical spicy Nigerian food. Compared to Nigerian food, the taste is rather bland. Left to me, it isn’t something I will cook too often, but Igwe ate five and half pieces out of the eight pieces. He loved it. I ate two pieces.
Cooking:
1. Mix the oil and spices together in a large bowl (pictured below)
Rosemary Sauce
2. Mix in the potatoes and chicken (I divided the mix in two – not equally – one for the chicken, and one for the potatoes.)
3. Arrange the chicken and potatoes in a foil pan (spray the pan with no stick cooking oil (I used a teaspoon of olive oil instead) – pictured below.

4. Preheat the over to 425 degrees and roast the chicken uncovered for 30 minutes, or until done.
Voila! Food is ready.
… the chicken will take longer to cook than the potatoes… so how come u roast them n the same pan????
McCormick recipe oh… come n answer
On the contrary, Funmie, it didn’t. As a matter of fact, newbie piece of the potatoes wasn’t as done as I wanted it to be. I guess it’s something about the oven, I don’t now,
or you could just parboil the potatoes, let them cool, add the rosemary sauce and then add to the already roasting potatoes…i always cover my meat/chicken with foil for the first half of the roasting to make sure they are well done and then uncover for the rest to get that crispy taste…
Gbam!
You can add this to my list of meals that you are making for me…;)
Thank you in advance
