Roast Chicken Thighs with Creamy Pepper Sauce

So I did it! I made my first YouTube cooking video! To say the least, it's not really professional or extremely amazing or anything. I was experimenting and I did it all by myself using my phone - which was a bit tricky. However, I'm well pleased with the result. This is only the beginning; it can only get better!

Roast Chicken Thighs with Creamy Pepper Sauce

So, I made roast chicken with creamy pepper sauce served with a vegetable and sweet potato stir-fry. Something completely different! Serves 2 people.


For the chicken - Ingredients:

Two chicken thighs with skin on (remove skin if you don't want the fatty bits)

Half red, green and orange or yellow bell peppers (cut horizontally so it creates full circular cuts as shown in the video below)

1/4 Leek

Salt

All purpose seasoning

Lemon or lemon juice

Garlic or garlic powder

Method:

1. Marinate the chicken for at least 2 hours in salt, all purpose seasoning, garlic and squirt some lemon juice on it. You can use different marinade if you prefer.

2. 2 hours later (once the chicken has marinated well) Cover up a roasting tray with foil paper, grease it with like two drops of oil or so (you don't want too much oil as the chicken has its own fat too), then turn on the oven at 180 degrees

3. Place the chicken thighs on the tray and leave it to roast.

4. Occasionally check the chicken and turn it over after one side has browned. Now place the sliced peppers and leek on top towards the end of the roasting (so that they do not burn)


For the vegetable and sweet potato stir-fry - Ingredients:

1 courgette sliced and then sliced again in half

1 large sweet potato, diced

1/2 leek, sliced

1/2 red, green and orange/yellow bell peppers each, diced


Method:

1. Boil the sweet potatoes in salted water for about 5 minutes or until they're cooked but not soft

2. Grease a non-stick pan with a little bit of oil and add the courgette, leek and mixed peppers while the sweet potatoes are still boiling to give them a "head start"

3. Now add the sweet potatoes to the stir-fry once they're cooked but not too soft

4. Add seasoning of your choice and stir-fry for about 5 minutes or so.


Creamy Pepper Sauce:

I used a store-bought powder which is absolutely delicious! You'll need:

Creamy Pepper Sauce powder

200ml milk

Method:

1. Mix the powder with the milk thoroughly then pour into a non-stick pot or sauce pan

2. Boil the two until thick

3. Pour on top of the chicken and bon appetit! You might not want to pour the sauce on the stir-fry as I did. Although it was yummy overall, aesthetically it wasn't as great after all!
