Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups plain yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 3 cloves minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 chicken breasts
  • 1 pound baby potatoes
  • 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill

Instructions

  1. Whisk the marinade: In a large bowl, whisk together the plain yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, cayenne pepper, ground cumin, ground coriander, salt, black pepper, and olive oil until smooth and creamy.
  2. Marinate the chicken: Add the chicken breasts into the marinade, turning them to ensure an even coating. Cover the bowl and let the chicken soak up those incredible flavors in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight for maximum flavor.
  3. Preheat the oven: While the chicken marinates, preheat your oven to 425°F.
  4. Prepare the potatoes: Wash the baby potatoes and cut them in half. Toss them in a bowl with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until they are well coated.
  5. Roast the potatoes: Spread the potatoes cut side down on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for about 20 to 25 minutes, or until they are golden and crispy.
  6. Cook the chicken: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, shaking off any excess. Cook the chicken for about 6 to 7 minutes per side, until it’s cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a plate and let it rest for 5 minutes.
  7. Prepare the dill feta cream: In a small bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, crumbled feta cheese, chopped fresh dill, lemon juice, and minced garlic. Mix until smooth and well blended. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  8. Slice the chicken and serve: Serve it alongside the crispy potatoes, topped with a generous dollop of the creamy dill feta sauce.

Notes

For best results, marinate the chicken overnight for enhanced flavor. Keep an eye on the potatoes while roasting to achieve the perfect crispiness.
