About

I always want to cook - even after a long day - but I don't always want to wash the dishes. This recipe is the perfect quick, 1-pot meal, that takes 10-15 minutes to prepare (it goes faster if you buy chicken pieces rather than cutting up your own chicken) and allows you to drink a glass of wine (or two), check a few emails, and relax a bit after a long day at work.

I modified this recipe from the Lebanese Chicken and Potatoes recipe I found on allrecipes.com by adding mint and red pepper flakes. This recipe could also be modified by adding cumin, coriander or your favorite spice blend.

Cheers!
