Notes

Use chicken thighs for juicy texture.
Pound chicken breasts if substituting so they cook evenly.
Cut potatoes into uniform sizes for even roasting.
Bring chicken to room temperature before cooking.
Yogurt herb sauce adds creamy flavor and ties the dish together.
For grilling, cook over direct heat 4–6 minutes per side.
For skillet cooking, brown first then cover to finish cooking.

Food safety: if you cook the chicken yourself, make sure it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), as recommended by the USDA and Health Canada.
