Sheet Pan Peruvian-Inspired Green Chicken and Potatoes

All the bright, herby flavors of Peruvian pollo a la brasa and papas, but everything roasts together on one sheet pan. No rotisserie, no multiple pots, just bold flavor and easy cleanup.

1 min Full Chaos 11 ingredients

Ingredients

  • 4 chicken thighs or drumsticks
  • 1 pound baby potatoes, halved
  • 1 cup fresh cilantro leaves and stems
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves (or substitute extra cilantro)
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1 jalapeño pepper, seeds removed
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Preparation

Peruvian green chicken typically involves marinating and rotisserie cooking. This sheet pan version concentrates all those vibrant flavors into one easy cooking method that delivers crispy skin and tender potatoes.

Preparing the Green Marinade

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a blender or food processor, combine cilantro, mint, garlic, jalapeño, olive oil, lime juice, cumin, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth and bright green.
  3. Reserve about 1/4 cup of the green sauce for drizzling after cooking.

Assembly and Cooking

  1. On a large sheet pan, arrange the chicken pieces and potato halves.
  2. Pour the green marinade (except the reserved portion) over everything and use your hands to massage it into the chicken and coat the potatoes.
  3. Arrange chicken skin-side up and spread potatoes in a single layer.
  4. Roast for 35-40 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F internal temperature and skin is crispy. Potatoes should be golden and tender.
  5. Drizzle with the reserved green sauce before serving.

Serving suggestion: Pair with rice, a simple salad, or wrap in warm tortillas with your favorite hot sauce.

This recipe proves that complex flavors don't require complex techniques—just good ingredients and smart shortcuts.
