Ingredients
  

  • 1.5-2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 pound baby Dutch potatoes, quartered
  • 3 cups broccoli florets
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream
  • 1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan
  • 1/4 cup chopped parsley
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon chopped chives (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon minced dill (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. Combine the Lemon Garlic Marinade ingredients in a freezer size sealable bag. Remove 2 tablespoons to use later for the veggies. Add the chicken to the bag, seal, and turn to coat. Let the chicken marinate at room temperature for 20 minutes.
  3. Line a large sheet pan with sides (15x21-inches) with foil and spray with cooking spray.
  4. Add the potatoes, 1 tablespoon reserved marinade and ¼ teaspoon salt. Toss and spread into an even layer. Bake potatoes for 15 minutes.
  5. After 15 minutes, push the potatoes to one side. Add the broccoli and toss with 1 tablespoon of the reserved marinade. Add the chicken in a single layer.
  6. Bake uncovered at 400 degrees for 17-22 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
  7. Whip up the Yogurt Parmesan Herb Sauce by whisking all ingredients together. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes

Serve this flavorful chicken with the yogurt sauce for a refreshing twist.
