Portuguese Chicken Recipe

Hey everyone! This blog is going to be a recipe my grandma taught me. It's chicken and potatoes, with sauce .. It's so yummy! Please let me know of any of you try it!!! I'd love to hear reviews!!! 

Ingredients
1 onion sliced however your prefer 
2 garlic cloves thinly sliced
1 can of tomato paste
Portuguese hot pimento sauce ( i use the brand FERMA, and they also have sweet too of you don't like spicy)
olive oil
5-6 potatoes 
Boneless chicken (breast, leg, wings, I used bonless and skinless breast but it all works
Salt
Black pepper
Seasoning salt


The first step is to put the tomato paste at the bottom of the tray and spread it out. 

Next your going to add the onions and garlic to the tray as much as you'd like.

Then you can put the pimento sauce, I drain it and then put it in cause my boyfriend doesn't like the seeds.

Then you can drizzle olive oil in the pan over everything in there.

Now you can can out the potatoes, I usually skin them and cut them in half around the pan. ( if your a little confused I'll post a picture of what it looks like before and after )

In a seperate bowl I season the chicken with seasoning salt, pimento sauce, garlic powder, pinch of black pepper and I put some onions in the bowl and mix it all up. 

I then place the chicken in the middle of the pan.

Preheat the oven to 350. 

Cover the top of the pan with foil and lift the four corners up just a little. This will allow the potatoes to cook! 

Once in this oven check it in about 15 minues, flip the potatoes and chicken , recover and put it back in untill it's done!
Usually takes 35 mintues in my oven. But everyone has a different stove! So keep an eye on it 

You can salt if you'd like. Personally doesn't need much. Do it before you put it in the oven.

Before it was cooked
I kinda rub the sauce all over everything.

After it's cooked


The hot sauce I use is 



Enjoy! Thanks guys :)
