Ingredients

3 boneless skinless chicken breasts

1 ½ teaspoons smoked paprika

½ teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon onion powder

¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and black pepper to taste

¾ cup crumbled feta cheese

2 tablespoons tahini

2 tablespoons Greek yogurt

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 small garlic clove minced

2 tablespoons olive oil (for sauce)

2 tablespoons water

1 tablespoon finely chopped red onion

Fresh chopped parsley

1 ½ cups baby potatoes halved or quartered

1 cup Brussels sprouts halved

2 tablespoons olive oil (for roasting)

½ teaspoon dried thyme or rosemary

Salt and pepper to taste

Crushed pistachios for garnish

Instructions

1. Pat the chicken breasts dry. Rub them with smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, salt, and pepper. Let sit for 15 minutes.

2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high. Sear chicken for 5–6 minutes per side until fully cooked. Rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

3. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss potatoes and Brussels sprouts with olive oil, thyme, salt, and pepper. Roast for 25–30 minutes until crisp.

4. In a blender, combine feta, tahini, yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, and water. Blend until creamy. Stir in red onion and garnish with parsley.

5. Assemble sliced chicken, roasted veggies, and spoon over feta-tahini cream. Top with crushed pistachios and more parsley. Serve warm.

Notes

Double the sauce for extra dipping or leftovers—it stores well and adds flavor to other meals.

Use boneless chicken thighs instead of breasts for a richer, juicier bite.

Let the sauce rest for 10 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to deepen and the texture to stabilize.
