Indian spiced potatoes with chicken

Indian Spiced Potatoes with Chicken

This Indian Spiced Potatoes with Chicken dish was created using ingredients I almost always have in my kitchen. It's very simple to put together, and uses minimal equipment to prepare. The key to this delicious meal is allowing sufficient time to marinate the chicken. If given enough time in the fridge, the chicken becomes beautifully flavourful. The warm garam masala, earthy cumin and fennel, and spicy mustard seeds marry beautifully with the tangy yogurt, bright lime, and zesty garlic. By baking the entire dish in a single tray, the chicken cooks in it's own juices, keeping it incredibly moist. The potatoes are crisp on the outside, while staying fluffy and soft on the inside. The result is a perfectly cooked meal served in one pan on your table under two and a half hours.
