Ingredients
1 pound chicken breast tenders
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 pound fingerling potatoes, halved
12 ounces Brussels sprouts, halved
3/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
2 tablespoons tahini
1/3 cup Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons warm water
2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs (parsley or cilantro)
2 tablespoons crushed pistachios (optional)
Instructions
1. In a bowl, toss chicken tenders with smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Set aside to marinate.
2. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss potatoes and Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, pepper, and a little garlic powder. Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway.
3. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add a little olive oil and sear chicken 4–5 minutes per side until cooked through and charred.
4. In a bowl, mix feta, tahini, yogurt, lemon juice, and warm water. Whisk until smooth and season with salt and pepper.
5. Plate chicken with roasted veggies. Spoon feta-tahini cream over or alongside. Garnish with fresh herbs and pistachios.
6. Serve immediately while hot and fresh.
Notes
Use good-quality tahini and feta to get the smoothest, most flavorful sauce.
Don’t overcrowd your pan or baking sheet to ensure proper browning and crispiness.
Let the chicken rest a couple minutes before slicing to keep it juicy.
