Chili Citrus Chicken with Chimichurri 

and 

Oven Roasted Potatoes

I have made this dish twice in the past 2 weeks with my new instant pot! This recipe is a crowd pleaser it is my daughters favorite meal.  I have made this in the oven many times in the past but using the instant pot frees up oven space so you can get the potatoes in the oven.  Either way it always turns out delicious and more importantly it is healthy. 

Ingredients-

Chicken-

4-6 boneless skin-less chicken breasts

2 oranges

1 lime

1 lemon

1 Tablespoon chili powder

1 Tablespoon smoked paprika

1 Tablespoon paprika

1 1/2 teaspoons salt

1 teaspoon pepper

1 cup pitted kalamata olives ( I used sliced but whole would work great as well)

1/2 cup chicken stock

2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Chimichurri-

1 bunch cilantro

5 mint leaves

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

1/4-1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (depending on how much spice you like)

3 green onion stalks

1 clove garlic 

1/4 red onion

1 lime

1 tablespoon red wine vinegar

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

Potatoes-

here I like to use a mix of sweet potatoes/russets/and or yams but you can use whatever you like

you will just need about 1 medium sized potato per person.

2 teaspoons salt

1 teaspoon pepper

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 cup oil i use 1/4 cup coconut and 1/4 extra virgin olive oil

Instructions-

Chicken-

Into your instant pot or baking dish put all of the spices plus the zest of 1 orange, the lemon, and lime.Next add the juice of both oranges, lime, chicken stock, and olive oil. Mix it all together then add the chicken. Make sure you coat both sides in the sauce. Add olives on top.  Close your instant pot and push manual set time to 20 min. When the timer goes  turn the release valve to venting to release the pressure before opening. If using your oven,  put it in to a pre heated 350 degree oven for 30-35 min.

Potatoes-

Preheat oven to 475 degrees. Cut your various spuds into spears and put them into a bowl. Pour the olive oil in and add salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Spread into a single layer on a baking sheet. Then place into the oven for 20 minutes or until you have reached your desired crispness.

Chimichurri-

Put cilantro with stems cut off, mint, oregano, red pepper flakes, green onion chopped into thirds with bottoms and tops trimmed, red onion, garlic, zest and juice of the lime, red wine vinegar, and olive oil into a blender or food processor. Give it a zip until you get your desired consistency.
