Chicken with potatoes in the oven
4 servings
30 minutes
Oven-baked chicken with potatoes is a classic dish of Russian cuisine that combines simplicity of preparation and richness of flavors. Its roots trace back to traditional peasant recipes where accessible ingredients were transformed into hearty and aromatic meals. Tender pieces of chicken marinated in a spicy mix of garlic, mayonnaise, and paprika develop an appetizing golden crust in the oven. The potatoes simmering beneath the chicken absorb the juices, becoming soft and flavorful. This is an ideal treat for a family lunch or festive gathering, blending simplicity with homely comfort. Serving it with chopped parsley adds fresh notes to the rich flavor, making the dish even more appetizing.
