Boil the baby potatoes in salted water with baking soda until fork-tender.
Drain the potatoes, then return them to the pot and toss with olive oil, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
Spread the potatoes onto a sheet pan and gently smash each one down. Set aside.
Slice the chicken breasts thinly. For easier slicing, freeze the chicken for 30–45 minutes beforehand.
Mix the chicken with olive oil, parsley, minced garlic, lemon juice, and salt.
Add grated Parmesan and toss until the chicken is evenly coated.
Thread the chicken onto skewers and lay them over the smashed potatoes on the sheet pan.
Roast the tray at 400°F for about 20 minutes, or until the chicken is golden and the potatoes are crispy.
For a smoky flavor, cook the tray on the BBQ instead of the oven.
Blend plain yogurt, garlic, jalapeño, lemon juice, parsley, scallions, olive oil, maple syrup, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
Plate the dish with some steamed broccoli, drizzle the green sauce over everything, and serve.
Freezing the chicken for 30–45 minutes makes it easier to slice thinly.
Smashing the potatoes creates more surface area for crispiness and allows them to soak up the chicken juices.
For a smoky flavor, use the BBQ instead of the oven to cook the dish.
Can I use a different type of potato?
Yes, you can use any small or baby potatoes. Just ensure they are fork-tender before smashing.
What if I don’t have skewers?
You can lay the chicken slices directly over the smashed potatoes without skewers.
Can I make this dish ahead of time?
You can prepare the potatoes and marinate the chicken in advance. Assemble and cook just before serving for the best results.
Is the green sauce spicy?
The green sauce has a mild kick from the jalapeño, but you can adjust the spice level by using less or omitting the jalapeño seeds.
Can I substitute the yogurt in the green sauce?
Yes, you can use sour cream or a dairy-free yogurt alternative if needed.
