The Chicken

2 tbsp Olive oil
1 tbsp Fresh parsley, finely chopped

Roast Potatoes: Preheat oven to 200°C. Toss potato wedges with olive oil, garlic powder, and salt. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 30–35 minutes until golden and crisp.
Season Chicken: In a small bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, parsley, salt, pepper, and paprika. Rub the mixture thoroughly over the chicken breasts.
Cook Chicken: In the same oven (or a skillet over medium-high heat), cook the chicken until the internal temperature reaches 74°C (about 20–25 minutes in the oven).
Prepare Sauce: Whisk together the yogurt, lemon juice, and minced dill/chives to create the herb cream sauce.
Steam Veggies: Steam the mixed corn, peas, and carrots until tender. Toss with a small pat of butter if desired.
Assemble: Plate the roasted chicken breasts alongside the crispy potato wedges and the mixed vegetables.
Serve: Dollop the herb cream sauce over the potatoes and chicken. Garnish with additional fresh herbs.
