Instructions

Combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt and pepper for the chicken. Add chicken and marinate refrigerated for approximately 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 425°F.

Toss potatoes with olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, garlic, salt and pepper. Spread potatoes on a large sheet pan without crowding.

Roast approximately 35-45 minutes, turning once, until tender with crisp browned edges.

Meanwhile, make tzatziki. Grate cucumber and squeeze it very thoroughly in a clean towel to remove excess liquid.

Combine cucumber with Greek yogurt, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, dill and salt. Refrigerate until serving.

Combine salad ingredients shortly before serving.

Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade. Cook until well browned and the thickest portion reaches 165°F.

Rest chicken approximately 5 minutes. Slice if desired.

Divide chicken and lemon potatoes among plates. Add cucumber-tomato salad. Serve with a generous spoonful of tzatziki.

Chef's Notes & Storage

Removing water from the grated cucumber keeps the tzatziki thick and creamy. Food safety: Cook chicken to an internal temperature of 165°F.
