• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

Step 1: Season the Chicken

In a small bowl, combine olive oil, garlic, paprika, parsley, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Rub the mixture evenly over the chicken breasts and let them marinate for 15 minutes.

Step 2: Roast the Potato Wedges

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

Toss the potato wedges with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 35–40 minutes, turning halfway through, until crispy and golden brown.

Step 3: Cook the Chicken

Place the seasoned chicken breasts on a baking sheet or oven-safe skillet. Roast at 400°F (200°C) for 20–25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thick pieces.

Step 4: Make the Tzatziki Sauce

In a medium bowl, combine Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, fresh dill, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth and creamy.

Refrigerate until ready to serve for the best flavor.

Step 5: Prepare the Mixed Vegetables

Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced carrots and cook for 3–4 minutes.

Stir in the sweet corn and peas, then cook for another 3–4 minutes until tender. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 6: Assemble and Serve

Arrange the sliced herb-roasted chicken, crispy potato wedges, and mixed vegetables on serving plates. Add a generous spoonful of tzatziki sauce on the side.

Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Expert Tips

• Pat the chicken dry before seasoning to help it develop a beautiful golden exterior.
• Drain the grated cucumber thoroughly to keep the tzatziki thick and creamy.
• For extra crispy wedges, soak the potatoes in cold water for 20 minutes before roasting and dry them well.
• Let the chicken rest before slicing to keep it juicy and tender.
• Fresh dill provides the best flavor for authentic tzatziki.

Air Fryer Version

Cook the potato wedges in an air fryer at 400°F (200°C) for 18–22 minutes, shaking halfway through.

Storage and Reheating

Reheat the chicken, potatoes, and vegetables in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 8–10 minutes. Serve the tzatziki cold.

Frequently Asked Questions
