How to make Chicken Maryland with Roasted Vegetables
For the chicken
- Step 1
Wash and pat dry the chicken Marylands with paper towels. Make small slits for better flavor absorption.
- Step 2
Grind ginger, garlic, green chillies, coriander, and cumin seeds into a coarse paste.
- Step 3
In a bowl, combine the paste with salt, turmeric powder, Kashmiri red chilli powder, Kasuri methi, and lemon juice.
- Step 4
Rub this mixture onto the chicken, ensuring an even coat. For best results, marinate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Step 5
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
- Step 6
Heat butter in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat until it begins to shimmer.
- Step 7
Place the chicken Marylands in the skillet, skin-side down, along with lemon slices. Sear for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown.
- Step 8
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked.
- Step 9
Alternative (Without Oven): After searing, reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and cook for 15-20 minutes, flipping occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
For the roasted veggies
- Step 1
Par-boil the baby potatoes until 90% cooked. Drain and set aside.
- Step 2
Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat.
- Step 3
Add the chopped garlic and sauté until golden and aromatic.
- Step 4
Add the par-boiled potatoes and cook until they are fully tender.
- Step 5
Toss in the carrots, mushrooms, green beans, and asparagus.
- Step 6
Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Step 7
Stir-fry the vegetables until tender but still slightly crisp.
