Description

Original recipe by Mélanie Germain in collaboration with Rythme FM featuring our chicken thighs.

 

  • 8 boneless chicken thighs from Ferme des Voltigeurs
  • 2 sweet potatoes, cut into large cubes
  • 2 red onions, quartered
  • 1/2 cup pitted prunes
  • 30 ml grated fresh ginger
  • 1/3 cup salty soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup pomegranate molasses (available at IGA and Asian grocery stores)
  • 1/2 cup mango chutney
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp sumac or za’atar
  • 2 tbsp toasted pine nuts (optional)

Olive oil

  • Mix the soy sauce, pomegranate molasses, mango chutney, ginger, maple syrup, pepper and sumac. Coat the thighs with this mixture and marinate for 30 minutes.
  • Place the marinated thighs in a baking dish. Spread the sweet potatoe cubes, onion wedges and prunes around it. Drizzle with the remaining sauce.
  • Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes at 400°F (200°C). Remove the foil, reduce temperature to 350°F (180°C) and continue cooking for 1 hour and 30 minutes, stirring several times, until the sweet potatoe is tender and the chicken is well glazed.
  • Let stand for 10 minutes covered with aluminum foil. Sprinkle with toasted pine nuts and, if desired, a few fresh oregano leaves.
