Veracruz sauce is traditionally served with seafood, such as red snapper or shrimp. Here, we've mixed things up with chicken thighs that bake up juicy and crisp for a dinner that's quick and easy.

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 6)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
12 ounces medium red potatoes, very thinly sliced (2 cups)
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 can (14 ounces) fire-roasted diced tomatoes
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano leaves, plus 4 sprigs
1 cup pitted and halved green olives, such as Castelvetrano
2 shallots, peeled and thinly sliced (3/4 cup)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees with rack in upper third. Season chicken on both sides with salt and pepper.
  • Toss potatoes with 2 tablespoons oil; season with salt and pepper. Arrange, shingled, in a shallow 9-by-13-inch baking dish; bake until just tender and edges are golden, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Stir together tomatoes, cinnamon, and oregano; season with salt and pepper. Pour mixture over potatoes; scatter with olives, shallots, and oregano sprigs. Top with chicken and drizzle with remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Bake until chicken is browned and crisp and a thermometer inserted into thickest parts (without touching bones) reaches 165 degrees, about 25 minutes. Serve.

I'm allergic to pineapple, so I substituted mango instead. It turned out great!

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I also like to add a can of black beans and corn to the sauce.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The chicken was a bit dry, and the sauce was a little too tangy for my taste.
