Ingredients

  • 1 lb – 2 lb chicken thighs
  • Freshly ground sea salt & black pepper to taste
  • 1 package Main St Bistro® Twice Baked Potatoes

Chicken seasoning

  • 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

Salad

  • 1 cup capers
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 heads Romaine lettuce, washed & chopped
  • 4 tbsp of your favorite Caesar dressing
  • ¼ cup grated parmesan
  • 1 lemon
  • Croutons
  • Salt & black pepper

Instructions

      For the chicken:

      1. Preheat oven to 325°F.

      2. Combine the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, honey, fresh thyme, and garlic together in a small bowl.

      3. Rub mixture all over your chicken thighs.

      4. Season chicken thighs with salt & pepper to taste.

      5. Roast in oven, skin side up, for approx. 25 mins.

      While the chicken is resting, prepare the salad and potatoes:

      1. Set oven rack to center and set the oven broiler to low broil.

      2. Drain 1 cup capers and dry well with paper towels. Gently toss capers in 2 tbsp olive oil, or lightly spray with olive oil.

      3. Place capers in oven on baking sheet, spread out evenly. Bake until crispy, stirring occasionally to avoid burning (approx. 2 mins). Remove capers from oven and drain onto a paper towel lined plate. Allow to cool.

      4. Add chopped romaine to a large bowl. Drizzle on dressing, season with salt & pepper, squeeze ½ of lemon, and then toss salad together.

      5. Cut remaining half of the lemon into 4 slices. Serve garnished with grated parmesan, croutons, lemon wedges, and roasted capers.

      6. Heat Main St Bistro® Twice Baked Potatoes per package instructions and enjoy
