    Roast Chicken Seasoning Mediterranean

    Mediterranean Roast Chicken Marinade:

    A great marinade creates intense flavor and keeps the chicken moist and tender. If you are looking for the best Mediterranean marinade, look no further. The chicken meat is seasoned well with ground cumin, ground coriander, ground smoked paprika, and fresh garlic. And It only requires 30 minutes of marinating time.

    Garbanzo Beans

    Chickpeas are a staple in the Mediterranean diet. Chickpeas, also known as garbanzo beans, offer a variety of health benefits. These benefits include improved digestion, a lowered total amount of cholesterol, and helping to control blood sugar. They are also high in fiber, potassium, vitamin C, and vitamin B-6 content, which all support heart health.

    For this recipe, you just need to pick up some canned garbanzo beans from the store. Just be sure to pick one with lower or no sodium content. Also, wash and drain the beans before cooking them in the oven.

    Mediterranean Roast Chicken

    Tomatoes:

    The Mediterranean diet focuses on whole foods, unprocessed. Tomatoes are rich in antioxidants and are considered as a star ingredient in the Mediterranean diet.

    For this recipe, I used some cherry tomatoes on the vine. Feel free to use any other kinds of tomatoes that you can find in your supermarket or backyard.

    Mediterranean Roast Chicken

    Cauliflower:

    Cauliflower is a versatile veggie that can be dressed up in many ways. One of my favorite ways to cook cauliflower is to roast the florets! It always tastes great with simple herbs seasoning. Therefore, cauliflower would make the perfect addition to this Mediterranean chicken recipe.

    Cumin:

    Cumin is the aromatic seed of a plant of the parsley family. Ground cumin is often used as a spice in Latin American, Middle Eastern, African, and Indian cuisines.

    Paprika:

    Paprika goes well with chicken. It has a pungent taste when heated. It adds both color and flavor to the dishes. For this recipe, I used smoked paprika because it has a sweet pepper flavor, even without any heat.

    Coriander:

    Coriander is a member of the same family as parsley, the Umbellifers. Coriander is commonly used as a spice in Asia and Mediterranean cuisines. Coriander not only adds flavor to the dish but also offers many health benefits.

    Cook Time 45 mins
    Course Main Course
    Cuisine Mediterranean

    Ingredients
     

    For Roasting:

    • 3 pounds assorted chicken pieces (bone-in breasts, thighs, legs and/or wings)
    • 12 oz cherry tomatoes on the vine
    • 1 can (15.5 oz) chickpeas - low sodium, (drained and rinsed)
    • 6 oz chopped cauliflower

    For Marinade:

    • ⅓ cup olive oil
    • 4 garlic cloves, (minced)
    • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
    • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
    • ¼ teaspoon ground coriander
    • 1 teaspoon salt, (use more according to your liking)
    • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

    Optional:

    • chopped parsley

    Instructions
     

    Make a Marinade:

    • In a small bowl, combine oil, garlic, paprika, cumin, coriander, salt, and pepper.
      Reserve about 2 tablespoons to marinate the vegetables.

    Marinate the Chicken:

    • Pat the chicken pieces dry with a paper towel.
    • Add the chicken to a freezer-safe ziplock bag, followed by the marinade.
    • Press the air out of the bag and seal tightly, and massage the chicken to coat in the marinade. Transfer to a fridge, marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight.

    Marinate the Veggies (You can do this before roasting or marinade for 5-10 minutes before roasting):

    • In a large bowl, add chickpeas, cauliflower and pour in the reserved marinade (2 tablespoons). Stir to coat. Adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.

    Roasting the Chicken:

    • Preheat the oven to 450°.
    • Arrange the chicken pieces in the pan, skin side up. Roast chicken for 15 minutes then turn the chicken pieces and continue roasting for additional 10 minutes. Remove from the heat.

    Roasting the Chicken and Veggies:

    • Add the chickpeas, tomatoes, and cauliflower into the pan. Roast the chicken and veggies for about 15 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through (until a thermometer inserted in chicken reads 170°-175°).
      If you are using chicken breast, do not overcook it! You may need to remove it from the oven about 5-10 minutes earlier than the other pieces.
    • Remove from the heat, sprinkle with parsley and enjoy.

    Notes

    If the chicken breast with bone in is too big, just cut in half.

      This chicken dish sounds amazing. I’m not a fan of cauliflower or chickpeas but I’m sure that I could find another veggie to substitute. If nothing else, i want to try the marinade. I have the ingredients in my pantry.
