Ingredients
- 2 cups fingerling potatoes halved lengthwise
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 cup bell pepper any color, chopped
- 2 chicken breasts cut into 1 1/2" pieces
- 1/2 red onion thinly sliced
Marinade
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1/2 cup plain yogurt
- 1/2 lemon squeezed
Homemade Tzatziki
- 1/2 cup plain yogurt
- 1/2 cucumber grated
- 1/2 lemon squeezed
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss the fingerling potatoes with olive oil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes. The potatoes will not be fully roasted, this is only the halfway point.
- While the potatoes bake, prepare the marinade for the chicken. In a bowl, combine yogurt, half the lemon juice, smoked paprika, garlic, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Add the chicken breasts and toss to coat them evenly.
- After 25 minutes, remove the potatoes from the oven and add the bell peppers to the baking sheet. Arrange the marinated chicken breasts and sliced red onion around the potatoes.
- Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
- While the chicken bakes, prepare the tzatziki. In a small bowl, combine the grated cucumber with the yogurt, remaining lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir well and set aside.
- Once the chicken is cooked through, remove the baking sheet from the oven.
- Top with a generous dollop of homemade tzatziki. Drizzle with any leftover pan juices, if desired. Serve and enjoy.
