If you’re looking for a delicious, vibrant dinner that delivers on flavor without a lot of hassle, Roasted Red Pepper & Herb Chicken with Pomegranate Molasses is the answer. This dish is an impressive combination of juicy, flavorful chicken thighs paired with perfectly roasted potatoes and a fresh, tangy salad. The real star of this meal is the roasted red pepper paste, which brings a smoky depth to the chicken. Combined with fresh garlic, coriander, paprika, thyme, dill, and parsley, it creates a fragrant, herbaceous marinade that transforms the chicken into something extraordinary. The addition of ghee and olive oil ensures the chicken stays moist and tender, while also helping to crisp the skin during the roasting process.
The method is simple yet effective: roast the chicken thighs at a high temperature, allowing the skin to become crispy and golden while locking in the flavors from the marinade. The pomegranate molasses adds the perfect touch, providing a sweet-tart contrast to the savory, herby chicken. It’s the kind of glaze that gives every bite a rich, glossy finish that’s both indulgent and balanced.
On the side, crispy baby potatoes are roasted in avocado oil with a sprinkle of salt, becoming golden and delicious with a soft interior. These potatoes are the perfect accompaniment to the chicken, adding a satisfying, starchy element to the plate.
The salad brings a refreshing element to this dish, with crunchy cucumber, juicy tomato, and fresh green onion, all tossed in a simple dressing made of olive oil, pomegranate molasses, and lemon juice. This bright, zesty salad cuts through the richness of the chicken and potatoes, making the meal feel balanced and light, yet satisfying.
