OMG y’all… this pomegranate glazed chicken and potatoes dish is hands down one the most delicious, juicy, and easy “one pan” meals I’ve everrrrr made!!
I have “one pan” in quotes because if you decide to make the pomegranate molasses glaze then technically it’s two pans BUT you put everything together in ONE 9×13 baking dish and roast and BOOOM JUICY DINNER.
Create a bed of diced potatoes, nestle in the chicken thighs, drizzle on the glaze then roast >> THAT’S IT. End result… juicy AF chicken thighs and crazy flavor bursting potatoes. I paired mine with a simple spinach salad with walnuts and goat cheese but you do whatever floats your boat. Rice? Awesome. Nothing? Totally cool. Roasted green beans? Love it. Recipe below 🙂
pomegranate glazed chicken and potatoes
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup molasses*
- 1/4 cup pomegranate juice*
- 2 lbs gold potatoes diced
- 6 garlic cloves minced
- 2 tbsps olive oil
- healthy pinch salt and pepper
- 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs
- several sprigs fresh rosemary leaves removed
optional side salad:
- 4-6 cups chopped spinach
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
- 4 oz crumbled goat cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400F. Coat a 9×13 dish with cooking spray.
- Combine the molasses and pomegranate juice in a small saucepan. Heat mixture over low heat until it reduces by half and thickens (about 10-20 minutes), whisking frequently.
- Cover the bottom of the prepared baking dish with diced potatoes and minced garlic. Drizzle olive oil, salt, and pepper over top then toss to coat.
- Next, nestle the chicken thighs in between the potatoes.
- Finally, drizzle pomegranate glaze over the entire pan then sprinkle with fresh thyme. Roast in the oven until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165F, about 30-45 minutes.
- Remove pan from heat then serve chicken and potatoes with the optional side salad or whatever you’d like!
Recipe Notes
*if you don’t want to buy molasses or use two pans… you can swap the molasses for maple syrup and just whisk it together in a measuring cup with the pom juice before drizzling over the chicken and potatoes!
