Next level of Baked

Baked Chicken just got even better.

Similar idea as the previous post, where I layered the Kale then vegetables (same seasoning), except this time I changed three things that provided drastic results.

First the chicken I seasoned differently which was great and before then I pre-soaked it for a bit in lime juice.

Second is the addition of the tomatoes on top. Once baked, the juices from the tomatoes just add an incredible level of flavor to all components in the dish.

Three is the change of Cilantro to Fresh Basil on top with the tomatoes. Again this adds a great component, both in smell and flavor to the rest of the food that simply cannot be denied.

Baked

As the summer leaves and the fall & winter come the spirit of baking seems to fill my head with all sorts of ideas.

This idea came from a couple different things, mainly the idea of layering like lasagna for some reason, stuck with me.

On the bottom I did a layer of Kale followed by a combination of Carrots, Sweet Potato, Russet Potato, Red Onion and Garlic.
The vegetables I seasoned with Spice blend called Za'atar. It consists of Sumac, Toasted Sesame Seeds, Salt, Cumin, Thyme, Oregano and Marjoram.

The chicken was also coated in the same seasoning. On top to garnish I used some Cilantro to, in my opinion provide a light flavor on top.
