Salt and Vinegar Chicken and Potatoes

January 14, 2020 by Elizabeth Leave a Comment

In January I quit chips and alcohol, making the evenings real nail-biters. I used to sit in front of the TV watching my nightly reruns with a full bag of salt and vinegar chips and a tequila soda until the whole bag was gone. When my pants got a little tighter, my only change was buying the 40 percent less fat version. This is not a post about dieting, I promise. I hate diets, but I love rules. Go figure.

Crispy Chicken Thighs with Greens and Beans

There is something magical about chicken thighs. The crispy skin, the way they never dry out even if you overcook it, the simplicity of how it only takes a little coarse salt to season them.

I can’t remember the execution, but it was just simple, salty, and it felt really complete. No side items really necessary. You’ll also be happy to know that you’ll only dirty one pan because these crispy chicken thighs with beans and greens are made in one oven proof skillet! If you have a large enough cast iron, you can use that, but if not, an oven proof skillet or dutch oven will work perfectly.

When I looked up what a typical Chicken Shawarma marinade was, almost all of them had lemon juice, olive oil, cumin and coriander. But I loved adding cinnamon and cloves for a little something extra that will leave your dinner guests asking “what is that?” Chicken Shawarma Bowls are so delicious, you’ll be making them once a week.
