Ingredients

3 boneless skinless chicken breasts

1 ½ tsp smoked paprika

1 tsp garlic powder

½ tsp onion powder

½ tsp dried oregano

Salt and black pepper to taste

2 tbsp olive oil

¾ cup crumbled feta cheese

2 tbsp tahini

1 clove garlic minced

1 tbsp lemon juice

23 tbsp water

2 tbsp finely diced red onion

1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

2 cups baby potatoes halved or quartered

1 ½ cups Brussels sprouts halved

1 ½ tbsp olive oil

½ tsp garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

Crushed chili flakes optional

Chopped parsley for garnish optional

Crushed pistachios for garnish optional


Instructions

1. In a bowl, mix smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, pepper, and 1 tbsp olive oil to form a spice paste. Coat the chicken and let it marinate for 10–15 minutes.

2. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss halved potatoes and Brussels sprouts with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread on a parchment-lined baking sheet, cut side down. Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway.

3. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with 1 tbsp olive oil. Sear chicken 5–6 minutes per side, until cooked through. Let rest before slicing.

4. In a blender or food processor, combine feta, tahini, garlic, lemon juice, and 2 tbsp water. Blend until creamy. Adjust texture with more water if needed. Stir in red onion and parsley.

5. To plate, layer the crispy potato-Brussels mix, sliced chicken, and a dollop of the feta-tahini cream. Garnish with parsley or crushed pistachios if desired.

Notes

Use block feta instead of pre-crumbled for a smoother, richer sauce.

Let chicken rest after cooking to preserve juices and flavor.

Preheat your oven and skillet well to ensure proper browning and crisp textures.
