Rainbow Chicken, 5/6 pp

Ingredients:
SPICE RUB
  • 2 teaspoons sweet or smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoons cumin
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1-1/4 pound chicken thighs or legs, bone-in, skins off or on
  • 1 potato, skin on, diced small (turnip works too)
  • 1 sweet potato, peeled, diced small
  • 1 medium onion, cut into lengths
  • 1 bell pepper, cut into lengths
  • 1 zucchini, cut into chunks
  • 2 carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 1 lemon, sliced thin cross-wise (don’t skip)
Directions:
  1. Mix the spice rub ingredients in a large bowl.
  2. Rinse the chicken pieces under running water, pat dry with paper towels, then drop into the Spice Rub and turn to coat.
  3. Arrange the chicken in a single layer in an oven-safe skillet or casserole dish with a lid.
  4. Drop the vegetables into the remaining spice rub (there won’t be a lot, but it’s just enough), give it all a stir and then scatter over the chicken.
  5. Top with lemon slices.
  6. Cover and bake for 45 minutes (and up to 20 minutes longer if using a baking dish covered with foil) or until no pink remains in the chicken pieces.
  7. Let rest for 5 minutes, serve and savor!
