Sheet-Pan Chicken & Garlic Yogurt
One pan, 40 minutes, and a sauce so good you will make it for everything.

- 1 tbspGarlic-infused olive oil (for yogurt sauce)
- 1Lemon
- Small bunchFresh dill or chives, chopped
- 2 handfulsRocket or baby spinach
Method
- 1Preheat and prep
Preheat oven to 220°C (200°C fan). On a large baking sheet, toss the halved potatoes with 2 tbsp garlic-infused oil, paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread in a single layer.
- 2Add the chicken
Nestle the chicken thighs skin-side up among the potatoes. Season generously with salt, pepper, and a little extra paprika.
- 3Roast
Roast for 35–40 minutes until the chicken skin is deep golden and crispy and the potatoes are tender and caramelising at the edges.
Key tip: Don't crowd the pan — potatoes need space to roast rather than steam. Use your largest baking sheet. - 4Make the yogurt sauce
While the chicken roasts, stir together the lactose-free yogurt, garlic-infused oil, a good squeeze of lemon juice, the chopped dill or chives, and a pinch of salt.
- 5Plate and serve
Spoon the yogurt sauce generously across warmed plates. Top with the roasted chicken and potatoes, then scatter a handful of rocket over everything. A final squeeze of lemon, and serve immediately.
