Classic Mashed Potatoes

You can’t go wrong with serving some classic mashed potatoes with your chicken marbella. The creamy texture and rich flavor of mashed potatoes complement the savory and tangy taste of the chicken marbella perfectly.

To make the mashed potatoes, I start by boiling the potatoes until they are tender. Then, I drain them and return them to the pot. I add butter, milk, salt, and pepper, and mash them until smooth and creamy. Sometimes, I like to add roasted garlic or grated cheese for an extra kick of flavor.

Roasted Vegetables Medley

For a delicious and healthy option, try pairing the chicken marbella with a medley of roasted vegetables.

To make the roasted vegetables medley, I start by preheating the oven to 425°F. Then, I chop up an assortment of colorful vegetables like bell peppers, zucchini, carrots, and red onions.

I toss them in olive oil, sprinkle some salt and pepper, and spread them out on a baking sheet.

After about 25-30 minutes in the oven, the vegetables turn golden and crispy on the outside, while remaining tender on the inside.

The combination of the juicy chicken marbella and the roasted vegetable medley is a match made in culinary heaven.

Lemon Herb Rice Pilaf

Once they are golden and fragrant, add in the rice and cook it for a few minutes until it becomes slightly translucent.

Next, pour in the vegetable or chicken broth, along with a squeeze of lemon juice for that tangy flavor. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer until the rice is tender and all the liquid has been absorbed.
