Description
A flavorful dish featuring chicken marinated in spicy yogurt, served with a creamy dill feta sauce and crispy baby potatoes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 chicken thighs
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
- 1 pound baby potatoes
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Add chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash and halve the baby potatoes, then toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Spread the potatoes on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes until crispy and golden.
- While the potatoes are roasting, grill or bake the marinated chicken until cooked through, about 20-25 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, mix feta cheese, dill, and a splash of olive oil to create the dill feta cream.
- Once the chicken and potatoes are done, serve the chicken topped with dill feta cream and crispy baby potatoes on the side.
- Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- For extra spice, add more cayenne pepper to the marinade.
- Letting the chicken marinate overnight enhances the flavor.
- Feel free to substitute chicken thighs with chicken breasts if preferred.
