HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

02

In a large bowl, toss the chicken thighs with olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Arrange the chicken in a single layer in a 9x13 inch baking dish.

03

Add the cubed potatoes to the same bowl and toss with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Scatter the potatoes around the chicken in the baking dish.

04

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, minced garlic, flour, and chicken broth until smooth.

Pour the yogurt mixture evenly over the chicken and potatoes in the baking dish. Bake for 60 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender, and the top is golden brown.

Chef's Tips

For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of dried oregano or mint to the yogurt sauce. Ensure the chicken thighs are bone-in and skin-on for the best flavor and moisture.
↔

Easy Substitutions

Chicken breasts can be used instead of thighs, but reduce baking time to 40-45 minutes to prevent drying out. Sweet potatoes can replace regular potatoes for a different flavor profile. For a richer sauce, use full-fat Greek yogurt.
