Directions
- 1
In a large bowl, whisk together the tomato passata, Dijon mustard, olive oil, minced garlic, herbs, salt, and pepper to form a smooth marinade.
- 2
Add the chicken pieces and potato cubes to the bowl. Coat everything thoroughly, massaging the marinade into the chicken.
- 3
Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes — ideally 1 hour — to let the flavors deepen.
- 4
Preheat your oven to 220°C / 425°F. Arrange the chicken and potatoes in a single layer in a roasting dish.
- 5
Roast for about 1 hour, turning the pieces halfway through, until the chicken is golden brown and the potatoes are fork-tender.
- 6
Serve hot with a green salad or white rice.
💡 Chef's Tip
For extra crispy skin, switch to broil/grill mode for the last 5 minutes. Add black olives or lemon slices for an authentic Provençal touch.
