Description

A flavorful dish featuring juicy chicken thighs marinated in spicy yogurt, topped with a creamy dill feta sauce and served with crispy roasted baby potatoes.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 chicken thighs, bone-in, skin-on
  • 1 cup plain yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 pound baby potatoes, halved
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine yogurt, olive oil, paprika, cayenne, salt, and pepper.
  2. Add chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they’re coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
  3. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  4. Spread halved baby potatoes on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, toss and roast for 25-30 minutes.
  5. While potatoes roast, prepare dill feta cream by mixing feta, dill, heavy cream, and lemon juice in another bowl until smooth.
  6. Heat a skillet over medium heat, add marinated chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked.
  7. Serve chicken alongside crispy potatoes and drizzle with dill feta cream.

Notes

Marinate the chicken overnight for deeper flavor; can use goat cheese as a feta substitute.
