This tomato rice with roasted chicken legs and potatoes is a hearty, family-friendly meal that feels comforting without being complicated. The rice cooks up savory and colorful, while the chicken roasts over herbed potatoes for an easy dinner with plenty of flavor.
Rinse the rice well, then soak it in water for 15 minutes and drain. Combine the rice with the tomato sauce, water, 1 tbsp olive oil, and 1/2 tsp salt in a pot or rice cooker. Cook until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.



Preheat the oven to 400 F (200 C). Slice the potatoes and onion, then toss them with 2 tbsp olive oil, rosemary, garlic powder, 1/2 tsp salt, and a few grinds of black pepper. Spread everything in a baking dish in an even layer.



Roast the potatoes and onion for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, season the chicken leg quarters with the remaining salt and black pepper.

Place the seasoned chicken on top of the partly cooked potatoes and return the dish to the oven. Roast for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are golden and tender. Serve the roasted chicken and potatoes with the tomato rice.

If you do not have chicken leg quarters, use bone-in chicken thighs or drumsticks instead. Do not overcrowd the baking dish or the potatoes may steam instead of brown. Leftovers keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and can be reheated in the oven or microwave.
