One Pan Moroccan Chicken from Emily Cohen

FreshDirect Partner · June 27, 2017 ·

This dish from Emily Cohen of My Life, My Menu is already a hit among her family—yours will love it too!

moroccan-chicken-680x680

What you’ll need:
6-7 chicken thighs, with the skin and bone
1 lemon, cut in wedges
1 1/2 cups cherry tomatoes
2 cups golden baby potatoes
1/2 Vidalia onion, sliced
1 cup green olives (optional)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons ground turmeric
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 lemon, cut in thin round slices

What to do:
Preheat your oven to 375°.

Take your chicken, lemon wedges, tomatoes, potatoes, onion and olives and place in a large roasting pan.

Drizzle your olive oil and sprinkle your garlic, turmeric, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper over the chicken and vegetables.

Using a gloved hand massage the spices and oil onto all of the items in your roaster. Make sure everything is well coated. Arrange everything nicely in the pan and then take your remaining lemon slices and lay them out onto your chicken thighs.

Cover the roasting pan and cook for 1 hour. Then remove the cover and cook for an additional 15 minutes.

Plan ahead! This dish can be prepped the day before you want to serve and then cooked the day you want to eat. Alternatively, you can cook the dish the day before for 1 hour covered and finish cooking the day of serving uncovered for 20 minutes.

Potable and portable, boxed wines make a perfect compliment for long weekends, camping trips, and picnics in the park. Choose a boxed wine that's as unique as your event, everything from color (white, rose, red, orange) to size (1L, 1.5L, and 3L). Cheers!

FreshDirect University?* We sat down with Sr. Director of Corporate Strategy Kristy Nguyen to talk us through the lessons working at FreshDirect has taught her.

Q: What's something you've learned by working at FD?
A: Consumer’s relationship with food. At FreshDirect, our customers care about the product, the experience, and how it relates to their personal values. Add in sustainability and health/wellness and it makes it compelling to feature the best of what FreshDirect offers.

Q: What does working at FD allow you to do in your personal life?
A: Work-life balance has been great! Having the flexibility to travel and pursue hobbies outside of work, including swing dancing.

Q: What's a goal or a dream that you have?
A: I have three. They are to (1) be the #1 grocer in the Tri-State area and beyond, to (2) grow within the Ahold Delhaize organization, and (3) buy a house in Manhattan, raise a family, and travel more. Oh, and join the Peace Corps once I retire!

Q: What's your favorite part about working at FreshDirect?
A: The product, the people, and their passion! I’ve met amazing people at FreshDirect and look forward to working with as many of my coworkers as possible.

*FreshDirect is not a university, however there's much to learn from working here.
