Arugula Salad

Yukon Potatoes

Chicken

Method

Preparation

1

Make the Piri Piri Aioli

In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, minced garlic, Piri Piri sauce, lemon juice, and salt. Mix well until smooth and set aside.

2

Prepare the Chicken

Marinate the chicken thighs with Piri Piri sauce, olive oil, and salt. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes or overnight for better flavor.

3

Prepare the Potatoes

Wash and cut Yukon Gold potatoes into wedges. Toss them with olive oil, salt, and black pepper.

Cooking

4

Cook the Potatoes

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Spread the potato wedges on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until golden and crispy.

5

Grill the Chicken

Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken thighs for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked.

6

Char the Broccolini

In the last 10 minutes of cooking the potatoes, toss broccolini in olive oil, salt, and juice from half the lemon. Add to the grill or a separate pan and char for about 4-5 minutes.

7

Prepare the Arugula Salad

In a bowl, combine arugula, olive oil, lemon juice, and salt. Toss gently and set aside.

Serving

8

Plate the Dish

On a plate, arrange the grilled chicken, roasted Yukon potatoes, charred broccolini, and arugula salad. Serve with Piri Piri aioli on the side.
