16gfat

1 tsp red chili powder

1 tsp coriander powder

1 tsp cumin powder

0.5 tsp garam masala

1 tsp salt (divided)

0.25 tsp black pepper (freshly ground)

2 tbsp coriander leaves (chopped, for garnish)

Instructions

1
Prepare the chicken marinade
- In a medium bowl, combine the yogurt, grated ginger, minced garlic, 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, lemon juice, turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, garam masala, and 3/4 teaspoon of salt.
- Mix well to form a smooth paste.
- Add the chicken breast pieces to the marinade and coat them evenly.
- Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.
2
Prepare the vegetables and preheat the oven
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
- In a large bowl, toss the cubed potatoes with the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil, the remaining 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and black pepper.
- Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a large baking sheet.
3
Bake the potatoes, chicken, and green beans
- Place the baking sheet with potatoes in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes.
- After 15 minutes, carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven.
- Push the potatoes to one side and add the marinated chicken breasts to the sheet. Add the trimmed green beans to the empty space on the sheet.
- Drizzle any remaining marinade over the chicken.
- Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for another 20-25 minutes.
4
Check for doneness and serve
- The dish is ready when the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 74°C or 165°F), the potatoes are tender, and the green beans are crisp-tender.
- If you prefer more browning, you can broil for the last 2-3 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
- Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.
- Garnish with fresh chopped coriander leaves before serving.
