Instructions
Marinate & Grill the Chicken
In a bowl, toss chicken slices with olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper.
Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high heat. Grill chicken for 3-4 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Set aside.
Prepare the Roasted Potatoes
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a bowl, toss potato pieces with olive oil, minced garlic, dried rosemary, dried thyme, salt, and pepper.
Spread potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 20–25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through.
Cook the Garlic & Herb-Infused Rice
Heat olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add rice and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
Pour in chicken broth, dried oregano, and dried thyme. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until all the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender. Fluff with a fork.
Make the Creamy Basil Pesto Yogurt Sauce
In a small bowl, whisk together basil pesto, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and minced garlic (if using).
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Assemble & Serve
Serve the garlic & herb-infused rice topped with the garlic-oregano grilled chicken slices and crispy herb-roasted potatoes.
Drizzle generously with the creamy basil pesto yogurt sauce.

A vibrant and flavorful meal that brings together the best of Mediterranean herbs and creamy pesto. The garlic-infused elements in the chicken, potatoes, and rice create a harmonious and satisfying dish!
