INGREDIENTS

  • 1/2 cup fresh parsley leaves
  • 1 (.5oz) bunch fresh chives
  • 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves
  • 1 (.5oz) bunch fresh dill
  • 3 Tablespoons lemon juice about 1 lemon
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 4 cloves garlic minced and divided
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt divided
  • 4 Tablespoons olive oil divided
  • 1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 1.5 lbs baby Yukon gold potatoes halved
  • 1 lb carrots peeled, halved, and cut into 3-inch pieces
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Add the parsley, chives, basil, dill, lemon juice, Greek yogurt, 2 cloves garlic, honey, 1 teaspoon of kosher salt, and 2 Tablespoons of olive oil to a high speed blender or food processor. Blend on high until the mixture is completely combined and you no longer see small bits of herbs.
    1/2 cup fresh parsley leaves, 1 (.5oz) bunch fresh chives, 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, 1 (.5oz) bunch fresh dill, 3 Tablespoons lemon juice, 1 cup plain Greek yogurt, 4 cloves garlic, 2 teaspoons honey, 2 teaspoons kosher salt, 4 Tablespoons olive oil
  • Pour half of the mixture into a jar or bowl and store in the fridge for serving. Pour the second half into a medium mixing bowl. Pat the chicken thighs dry and add them to the bowl with the dressing and toss to coat. Transfer to the fridge to marinate for at least 20 minutes (or overnight) while you prep the veggies. Then start baking the veggies.

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F. Drizzle and spread 1 Tablespoon of olive oil to the bottom of a large rimmed sheet pan. Chop the potatoes cut the carrots into 3-inch sticks. Add the halved potatoes and carrots to the sheet pan and drizzle with another Tablespoon of olive oil then toss with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and minced garlic. Toss to coat then bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.

  • When the time is up, remove the veggies from the oven and push them to one side of the sheet pan. Remove the chicken from the fridge and use tongs to transfer it to the other half of the sheet pan, shaking off any excess marinade. Bake for 22- 28 minutes. The internal temperature of the chicken should read 160 on an instant read thermometer when you remove them from the oven (with a target temp of 165 while it rests) and the potatoes and carrots will be crispy.
  • Remove from the oven and allow the chicken to rest for a couple of minutes. Drizzle the chicken generously with the reserved green goddess sauce before serving with more fresh herbs as desired.

Notes

Chicken Breasts. You can swap the chicken thighs for chicken breasts. They take slightly less time to cook (18-20 minute), so bake the potatoes and carrots for 15 minutes then add the chicken breasts and continue baking for another 18-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 and the potatoes and carrots are crispy. 
Other Herbs. Swap any of the herbs in this recipe for cilantro, tarragon, mint, scallions (green onions), thyme, or oregano. Any fresh herbs you have on hand work!
Grilled Chicken. Follow the instructions to make the chicken marinade. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (400-450). Shake off any excess marinade. Place the chicken thighs directly on the grill with the smooth side down. Close the lid and grill for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature of the chicken thighs reach just below 165°F. You can follow these cooking tips for grilled chicken breasts too and bake the veggies as directed.
