First, let’s take a look at the ingredients you’ll need:
– 1 1/2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
– 1 large onion, diced
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tbsp vegetable oil
– 1 tbsp tomato paste
– 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
– 1 tbsp brown sugar
– 2 tsp dried oregano
– 1 tsp smoked paprika
– 1 tsp ground cumin
– 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
– 1/4 tsp ground cloves
– 1/4 tsp black pepper
– 1/2 cup chicken broth
– Salt, to taste
For the potatoes:
– 2 large potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
– 1 tbsp vegetable oil
– 1/2 tsp salt
– 1/4 tsp black pepper
Now, let’s get cooking!
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F.
2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic and cook, stirring often, until softened and fragrant, about 3 minutes.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together the tomato paste, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, oregano, smoked paprika, cumin, cinnamon, cloves, black pepper, and chicken broth. Pour the mixture into the skillet and stir to combine with the onions and garlic.
4. Add the chicken thighs to the skillet and coat them in the sauce. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then cover the skillet with a lid or aluminum foil and transfer it to the oven. Bake for 35-40 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
5. While the chicken is cooking, prepare the potatoes. Toss the potato pieces with vegetable oil, salt, and black pepper, then spread them out on a baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown and tender.
6. Once the chicken is done cooking, remove the skillet from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Serve the chicken topped with the sauce and the roasted potatoes on the side. Enjoy!
This Mexican Chicken Adobo recipe is sure to become a staple in your mealtime rotation. The spicy and sweet sauce perfectly complements the juicy and tender chicken, and the roasted potatoes add the perfect crunchy texture to the dish. Give it a try and let me know what you think!
