SHEET-PAN CHICKEN WITH POTATOES, ARUGULA AND GARLIC YOGURT
Your typical sheet-pan chicken recipe roasts everything together on a pan at once. This version pairs potatoes with the poultry, and tops everything off with fresh herbs and arugula, making it a true one-pan meal, salad included. A savory yogurt sauce adds a creamy touch, but it's optional if you're not a yogurt sauce fan. Feel free to double the recipe if you're feeding a crowd, though make sure to use two sheet pans so that everything is spread out in one layer, which is critical for browning.

Steps:
- Combine chicken and potatoes in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, whisk together harissa, cumin and 3 tablespoons oil. Pour over chicken and potatoes and toss to combine. Let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes, or up to 8 hours in the refrigerator.
- Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine leeks, lemon zest, a pinch of salt and the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons oil.
- Heat oven to 425 degrees. Arrange chicken and potatoes on a large rimmed baking sheet in a single layer. Roast 15 minutes. Toss potatoes lightly. Scatter leeks over pan. Roast until chicken and potatoes are cooked through and everything is golden and slightly crisped, 25 to 30 minutes longer.
- While chicken cooks, place yogurt in a small bowl. Grate garlic over yogurt and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- To serve, spoon yogurt over chicken and vegetables in the pan. Scatter arugula and dill over mixture. Drizzle with oil and lemon juice and serve.
GREEK YOGURT, SPINACH, AND FETA STUFFED CHICKEN RECIPE - (4/5)

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F. In a medium bowl, combine spinach, yogurt, feta cheese, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Mix well. Set aside. Slit chicken breasts at the wide end, inserting knife as far into the breasts as possible, creating a pocket for stuffing. Carefully stuff each breast with half of the spinach, yogurt and cheese mixture so that each breast is plump. Stop stuffing once the mixture begins to drip out of the slit end. Set aside any remaining spinach mixture. Lightly grease a baking sheet or shallow casserole dish with cooking spray. Place stuffed breasts in pan and brush each with olive oil, then season with remaining salt and pepper. If there is leftover spinach, yogurt and cheese mixture, spread it over the top of the breasts after they are brushed with oil and seasoned. Bake 45 to 50 minutes, or until the juices run clear. Let chicken stand for 5 to 15 minutes, then cut each breast into fourths. Enjoy.
Tips:
- To ensure the chicken is cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165°F (74°C).
- For a crispier skin, broil the chicken for the last few minutes of cooking.
- If you don't have spinach on hand, you can substitute another leafy green vegetable, such as kale or Swiss chard.
- To make the sauce creamier, add a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt.
- Serve the chicken with rice, potatoes, or your favorite side dish.
Conclusion:
This baked chicken in yogurt with spinach is a healthy and flavorful dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and juicy, the yogurt sauce is creamy and tangy, and the spinach adds a pop of color and nutrition. This dish is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
