Steps

1. Begin by marinating the chicken. In a bowl, mix olive oil, turmeric, cumin, coriander, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken, ensuring it's well coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes. 2. While the chicken is marinating, peel and chop the potato into small cubes. Boil the potatoes in salted water until tender, about 10-12 minutes. Drain and set aside. 3. Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a bit of pasta water. 4. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the marinated chicken for about 6-8 minutes on each side until fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and let it rest. 5. In the same skillet, add the cooked potatoes, and sauté them until crispy and golden, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. 6. Slice the cooked chicken and serve it over the pasta, adding a splash of reserved pasta water if needed for moisture. Top with crispy potatoes and garnish with fresh parsley. 7. Enjoy your Persian Chicken Pasta with Herbed Potatoes!
