  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

  • Boneless, skinless chicken thighs: 1.5 lbs
  • Baby Yukon Gold potatoes: 1.5 lbs
  • Plain Greek yogurt (full fat): 1 cup
  • Feta cheese, crumbled: 4 oz
  • Fresh dill, finely chopped: 1/4 cup
  • Olive oil: 1/4 cup, plus extra for potatoes
  • Garlic, minced: 4 cloves
  • Smoked paprika and cayenne pepper mix: 2 teaspoons

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Prepare the Marinade and Chicken

  3. Step 3: Make the Dill Feta Cream
  4. Step 4: Cook the Marinated Chicken
  5. Step 5: Assemble and Serve

Notes

  • Store leftover chicken and potatoes separately from the Dill Feta Cream; the cream is best consumed within 2 days in an airtight container in the fridge.
  • To revive the crucial crispness of the potatoes and prevent the chicken from drying out, reheat both in a 350°F oven for 10-12 minutes rather than using a microwave.
  • A squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the cooked chicken right before serving will cut through the richness of the yogurt marinade and brighten the overall flavor profile.
  • For maximum tenderness and spice infusion, ensure the chicken marinates for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight, using full-fat Greek yogurt as the fat helps tenderize the meat without breaking it down.
