Cut the Idaho potatoes into wedges and place them in a baking pan.

3

Add boneless skinless chicken thighs to the pan with the potatoes.

Pour the marinade over the chicken and potatoes, then season with salt, black pepper, crushed red pepper flakes, ground cumin, and oregano.

5

Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C).

6

Bake uncovered in the oven for about 45 minutes or until the potatoes are fork tender and chicken is fully cooked.

While the chicken and potatoes are baking, prepare a green bean salad by boiling trimmed green beans for 7 minutes, then shocking them in ice water.

8

Make the dressing for the salad using balsamic vinegar, honey, grated garlic, and extra virgin olive oil.

9

Toast walnuts in the oven for about 5 minutes until fragrant, then chop them.

10

Combine the salad ingredients: green beans, walnuts, dried figs, chopped onion, grape tomatoes, kalamata olives, and sliced baby bell peppers.

Toss the salad with the dressing and crumble feta cheese on top.
