Savor the harmony of perfectly crisp chicken thighs paired with tender roasted yams and a silky, herb-infused lentil medley. This dish melds savory and subtly sweet flavors, offering a balanced and satisfying meal that’s both nutritious and delicious.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Thigh (skin-on, boneless)
100g Yam, peeled and cubed
1/2 cup Cooked Lentils
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 oz Red Onion, sliced
1 Garlic clove, minced
2 sprigs Fresh Thyme
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F.
Pat the chicken thigh dry and season generously with salt, pepper, and a little minced garlic.
Heat half of the olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken thigh skin-side down until the skin turns crispy and golden, about 4-5 minutes. Flip and briefly sear the other side.
Meanwhile, toss the cubed yam with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, pepper, and a few fresh thyme leaves. Spread onto a baking sheet in a single layer.
Place the yams in the preheated oven and roast for about 20-25 minutes or until tender and slightly caramelized.
For the creamy lentils, warm them in a small saucepan with sliced red onion, minced garlic, and a sprig of thyme. Let the flavors meld for 5 minutes over low heat. Season with salt and pepper as desired.
Once the chicken has a crispy finish, transfer the skillet to the oven (if it’s oven-safe) and roast for an additional 8-10 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked.
Plate the chicken thigh alongside the roasted yams and a serving of the creamy lentils. Garnish with extra thyme if desired and serve warm.
