Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup plain yogurt
  • 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 olive oil for potatoes
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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).
  6. Rest the Chicken: Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate and let rest for 5 minutes.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
