Ingredients

1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breast or pork loin
1 pound of potatoes diced small (3-4 small potatoes)
3 Tablespoons organic olive oil
4 cloves of garlic minced
1 Cup onion in small pieces
1 ½ Tablespoons ground sumac
1 teaspoon nigella sativa seeds
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon salt +½ teaspoon if sumac is salt-free
2 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice optional

Instructions

Prep your potatoes, garlic, onion, and lemon juice if using, and then preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Make sure to dice your potatoes quite small if using chicken tenders or breasts, otherwise they won't bake as quickly as the meat.
Put all the ingredients in a bowl and mix them until all the potatoes, chicken, and onion are evenly-coated in garlic, oil, and spices.
Place the entire mixture on a silpat or aluminum foil on a large baking tray, then bake in your preheated oven on convection for 10 minutes.
Take it out and flip the chicken & stir the onions and potatoes, and then bake it for 5-7 minutes. The potatoes should be fork tender, and the chicken tenders should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) before your dish is done.
If you tend to like crispier potatoes, remove the tenders and bake the potato & onion mixture for up to 10 more minutes, then serve.

Notes

Baking the Potatoes: if you want crispier potatoes, make sure you cut them very small, and consider using baby potatoes so that they're softer in the middle. You may also want to bake them for 10-15 more minutes after the chicken, to crisp them up more.

Lemon Juice Alternatives: This low histamine chicken recipe is full of antihistamine ingredients, inspired by the Middle Eastern dishes I've come to know and love. The only ingredient that may be iffy for some of you is the lemon juice added at the end, but it's optional.
