Baked chicken with tomato paste and olive oil is made by coating chicken pieces in a mixture of tomato paste, olive oil, seasoning, and a little water. Arrange them in a baking dish and cook until the thickest part is fully cooked, with no pink meat remaining.
Bone-in thighs and drumsticks work especially well for baked chicken with tomato paste and olive oil because they tend to stay juicy. Chicken breast also works, but it cooks faster and can dry out, so check it before the darker meat is done.
Tomato paste gives baked chicken with tomato paste and olive oil a concentrated, savory coating, while tomato sauce makes the dish wetter and less intense. If using paste, loosen it with a little water so it spreads evenly instead of forming thick patches.
To keep baked chicken with tomato paste and olive oil moist, coat the pieces well and avoid cooking them longer than needed. Breast meat dries faster than thighs; spooning some pan juices over the chicken during cooking also helps.
Yes, potatoes can cook alongside baked chicken with tomato paste and olive oil. Cut them into evenly sized pieces and coat them in the same seasoned oil and tomato mixture; give larger pieces a head start so they soften before the chicken is overcooked.
Paprika, black pepper, garlic, oregano, and thyme all suit baked chicken with tomato paste and olive oil. For a more Turkish-style flavor, use pul biber and cumin; taste the sauce before adding much salt because tomato paste can already be salty.
Baked chicken with tomato paste and olive oil pairs well with rice, roasted vegetables, or a crisp salad. Rice or bread is particularly useful for soaking up the tomato-rich juices left in the baking dish.
Yes, you can coat the chicken for baked chicken with tomato paste and olive oil ahead of cooking and keep it covered in the refrigerator. Marinate raw chicken in the fridge, not on the counter, and discard any marinade that touched raw chicken unless you cook it thoroughly.
Leftover baked chicken with tomato paste and olive oil keeps for about three to four days in a refrigerator when promptly cooled and stored in a covered container. Reheat it until steaming hot; adding a splash of water helps loosen the sauce.
Yes, baked chicken with tomato paste and olive oil can be frozen in an airtight container. Thaw it in the refrigerator and reheat until steaming hot; the chicken may be slightly less tender after freezing, but the tomato and olive oil sauce freezes well.

Baked chicken with tomato paste and olive oil is a familiar Turkish home-style dish: chicken pieces are coated with tomato paste, olive oil and seasonings, then roasted in the oven. The paste forms a savoury, slightly tangy coating, while the chicken stays tender beneath its lightly browned surface. Recipes vary from household to household, with the amount of oil and seasoning adjusted to taste.
In Turkey, it is often served as a main meal with rice or bulgur, salad, or yoghurt; crusty bread is handy for the pan juices. It is protein-rich and relatively low in carbohydrates, with 24.1 g of protein per 100 g. For a lighter plate, serve it with plenty of vegetables and measure the oil rather than pouring freely.
