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.
Tips:
- Choose the right chicken: A whole chicken is ideal for this recipe, but you can also use chicken breasts or thighs. If using a whole chicken, make sure it is no larger than 4 pounds.
- Season the chicken well: A simple combination of salt, pepper, and garlic powder is all you need to season the chicken. You can also add other spices or herbs, such as paprika, thyme, or rosemary.
- Roast the chicken at a high temperature: This will help to create a crispy skin and juicy meat. Roast the chicken at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Add the potatoes and spinach halfway through roasting: This will ensure that the potatoes are cooked through and the spinach is wilted. Toss the potatoes and spinach with olive oil, salt, and pepper before adding them to the roasting pan.
- Let the chicken rest before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chicken.
Conclusion:
This roasted chicken with potatoes and spinach is a simple and delicious one-pan meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The chicken is crispy and juicy, the potatoes are tender and golden brown, and the spinach is wilted and flavorful. This dish is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
