Zest of 1 lemon, divided
⅓cupplain yogurt(75 grams)
1clovegarlic
1tablespoonfresh lemon juice
2cupsarugula(60 grams)
1tablespoonfresh chopped dill, divided
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425°F. Grease a sheet pan with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of the olive oil, sriracha, and cumin. Add the chicken thighs and potatoes and toss to coat. Spread on the prepared sheet pan in a single layer. Season generously with salt and pepper. Roast 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, toss the chopped leeks with half of the lemon zest and some salt and pepper. Remove the chicken and potatoes from the oven and toss the potatoes lightly. Top with the leeks and make sure everything is evenly spaced.
Roast for an additional 25-35 minutes or until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a chicken thigh registers 160°F (temperature should rise to the recommended 165°F as it sits).
While the chicken and potatoes are roasting, prepare the yogurt sauce. Combine the yogurt in a small bowl with the garlic, remaining lemon zest, lemon juice, and half of the fresh dill. Season lightly with salt.
Serve the roasted chicken, potatoes, and leeks with the arugula, yogurt sauce and the rest of the fresh dill.
Notes
Notes
Bone-in skin-on chicken thighs are preferred for this recipe (They'll have the best flavor and won't dry out). However, you can use boneless skinless chicken thighs or even chicken breasts if that's your preference. Chicken breasts may need additional baking time, depending on size.
Make sure leeks are well washed, as dirt likes to hide in the nooks and crannies.
The arugula and yogurt sauce can be omitted, but they provide great flavor, freshness, and help make this a complete meal.
