Description
A deliciously balanced plate of smoky, spice-rubbed chicken, creamy whipped feta-tahini, and golden crispy potato-Brussels wedges. This dish is hearty, vibrant, and perfectly suited for cozy weeknight meals or a more refined weekend dinner.
Ingredients
1 lb chicken breast or thighs (skinless)
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil (for marinade)
1 lb fingerling or baby potatoes
1/2 lb Brussels sprouts
1 tablespoon olive oil (for roasting)
1/2 cup feta cheese
2 tablespoons tahini
2 tablespoons Greek yogurt or sour cream
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon chopped parsley (optional garnish)
1 tablespoon chopped pistachios (optional garnish)
Instructions
1. In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Add chicken and coat evenly. Marinate for at least 30 minutes.
2. Cut potatoes into wedges and halve Brussels sprouts. Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a lined sheet pan.
3. Roast vegetables at 425°F (220°C) for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through until golden and crispy.
4. Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high. Cook chicken 4–6 minutes per side, until charred and cooked through.
5. In a food processor, blend feta, tahini, lemon juice, and yogurt until smooth. Adjust with lemon juice or water for consistency.
6. Plate chicken, vegetables, and a scoop of feta-tahini cream. Garnish with parsley and pistachios if using.
Notes
Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing to keep juices sealed.
Use parchment for easy cleanup and better vegetable crisping.
For a dairy-free dip, use hummus blended with lemon and olive oil.
