Categories     Dinner

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 oz boneless, skinless chicken breast, 4 pieces, pounded to 1/2 inch (1 cm) thickness
2 teaspoons smoked sweet paprika
fine sea salt, to taste
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
5 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 teaspoons dijon mustard, divided
1 clove garlic, grated
1 lemon, zested, divided
1 lb fingerling potato, halved
¾ cup whole milk greek yogurt
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped, extra to garnish, to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400˚F (200˚C).
  • Season the chicken breasts with paprika, salt, and pepper. Place in a shallow dish and add 2 tablespoons of the oil, 1 teaspoon of the mustard, the garlic, and half the lemon zest.
  • Toss until the chicken breasts are fully coated, then cover the dish and marinate at least 30 minutes, up to overnight.
  • On a baking sheet, toss the potato halves with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and roast until tender and golden, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade, and working in two batches, cook until golden brown on one side, 6 to 8 minutes. Flip each breast and continue to cook until the chicken is cooked through, 2 to 4 minutes longer. Transfer to a serving platter and repeat with the remaining oil and breasts.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the yogurt with the remaining 1 teaspoon mustard, lemon zest, salt, pepper and the parsley.
  • Serve the chicken with the yogurt and potato wedges.
  • Enjoy!

Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 pounds skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 pinch cayenne pepper
½ cup fresh lemon juice
½ cup olive oil
6 cloves garlic, minced
3 russet potatoes, peeled and quartered
⅔ cup chicken broth, plus splash to deglaze pan
chopped fresh oregano for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Lightly oil a large roasting pan.
  • Place chicken pieces in large bowl. Season with salt, oregano, pepper, rosemary, and cayenne pepper. Add fresh lemon juice, olive oil, and garlic. Place potatoes in bowl with the chicken; stir together until chicken and potatoes are evenly coated with marinade.
  • Transfer chicken pieces, skin side up, to prepared roasting pan, reserving marinade. Distribute potato pieces among chicken thighs. Drizzle with 2/3 cup chicken broth. Spoon remainder of marinade over chicken and potatoes.
  • Place in preheated oven. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Toss chicken and potatoes, keeping chicken skin side up; continue baking until chicken is browned and cooked through, about 25 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Transfer chicken to serving platter and keep warm.
  • Set oven to broil or highest heat setting. Toss potatoes once again in pan juices. Place pan under broiler and broil until potatoes are caramelized, about 3 minutes. Transfer potatoes to serving platter with chicken.
  • Place roasting pan on stove over medium heat. Add a splash of broth and stir up browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Strain; spoon juices over chicken and potatoes. Top with chopped oregano.

GRILLED LEMON YOGURT CHICKEN



Grilled Lemon Yogurt Chicken image

There is something special about what yogurt does to chicken in its smoky, sizzling time over charcoal. It imparts a tangy flavor that lifts all the other flavorings. It tenderizes slightly, without turning the meat into mush. It grills to a caramelized dark brown without tasting burnt.

Time 3h50m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

½ cup plain low-fat Greek yogurt
½ lemon, juiced
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 cloves garlic, crushed
1 tablespoon paprika
1 teaspoon herbes de Provence
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 (5 pound) whole chicken, cut into 8 pieces
½ cup plain low-fat Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon harissa
1 pinch salt

Steps:

  • Whisk together the 1/2 cup yogurt, the juice from 1/2 lemon, lemon zest, olive oil, garlic, paprika, herbes de Provence, 1 teaspoon salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add chicken, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in refrigerator for at least 3 hours.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
  • Combine 1/2 cup yogurt, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and harissa in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • Remove chicken from bag and transfer to a plate or baking sheet lined with paper towels. Pat chicken pieces dry with more paper towels. Season with pinch of salt.
  • Grill chicken, skin-side down, on the preheated grill for 2 minutes. Turn each piece and move to indirect heat.
  • Grill, turning often, with lid down until well-browned and meat is no longer pink in the center, 30 to 35 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • Serve chicken with the yogurt harissa mixture on the side.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of chicken. Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs are ideal for this recipe, as they will stay juicy and flavorful during cooking.
  • Use a good quality paprika. Smoked paprika will add a rich, smoky flavor to the dish, while regular paprika will provide a more mild flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. When searing the chicken, make sure to give each piece enough space so that it can brown evenly.
  • Roast the potatoes until they are crispy. The potatoes should be roasted until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside, and tender on the inside.
  • Make sure the yogurt sauce is well-seasoned. The yogurt sauce should be tangy and flavorful, so make sure to season it with salt, pepper, and lemon juice to taste.

Conclusion:

This paprika-spiced chicken with lemon yogurt and crispy potatoes is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and juicy, the potatoes are crispy and flavorful, and the yogurt sauce adds a refreshing tang to the dish. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a meal that your whole family will enjoy.
