4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 tbsp lemon juice
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp paprika
1 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
2 tbsp olive oil for marinade
1 lb baby potatoes, washed and halved

2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped

Instructions
Prepare the Marinade: In a large bowl, whisk together plain yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, cayenne pepper, ground cumin, ground coriander, salt, black pepper, and olive oil for marinade until smooth.
Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken breasts to the bowl, coat each piece evenly in the yogurt mixture, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat and Prepare Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). While it heats, wash and halve the baby potatoes, tossing them with olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
Roast the Baby Potatoes: Spread the potatoes cut side down on a baking sheet and roast for 20 to 25 minutes until golden and crispy.
Cook the Chicken: Remove chicken from the marinade and shake off excess. Cook in a skillet for 6 to 7 minutes per side until cooked through at 165°F (75°C).
Rest the Chicken: Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate and let rest for 5 minutes.
Make the Dill Feta Cream: In a small bowl, combine Greek yogurt, crumbled feta, chopped dill, lemon juice, and minced garlic. Mix well and season with salt and pepper.
Slice and Serve: Slice the chicken and serve with crispy potatoes. Top with dill feta cream.
Notes
For extra flavor, marinate the chicken overnight. Ensure potatoes are spread out for maximum crispiness.
