Today’s Inspiration

Today, I’m excited to share a recipe that’s perfect for a cozy winter evening. This dish is inspired by my love for comforting flavors and unique combinations that surprise the taste buds.

Ingredients

  • boneless chicken thighs
  • sweet potatoes
  • pomegranate
  • feta cheese
  • balsamic vinegar
  • honey
  • cumin
  • paprika
  • salt and pepper

Kitchen Tools

  • baking sheet
  • mixing bowl
  • knife
  • oven

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 200°C. In a mixing bowl, combine the balsamic vinegar, honey, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss the chicken thighs in this marinade and let them sit for 15 minutes to soak up the flavors.

While the chicken is marinating, peel and chop the sweet potatoes into cubes. Spread them on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast in the oven for 20 minutes until they are tender.

Next, place the marinated chicken thighs on the baking sheet with the sweet potatoes. Roast everything in the oven for another 20-25 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown.

Once the chicken and sweet potatoes are done, crumble feta cheese over the top and sprinkle with fresh pomegranate seeds for a burst of flavor and color.

Clever Tip

For an extra special touch, try adding a handful of freshly chopped mint leaves to the dish right before serving. The freshness of the mint will complement the richness of the chicken and sweet potatoes perfectly.

Serving

This dish weighs approximately 900g once cooked and serves 4. Each serving is around 225g and is packed with approximately 350 calories. Enjoy this flavorful and unique meal with your loved ones on a chilly evening!
