Step 1: Roast the Potatoes

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
Toss halved potatoes with olive oil, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and tender.

While the potatoes roast, season chicken with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Grill or pan-sear over medium heat for 5–7 minutes per side (depending on thickness), until internal temp reaches 165°F.
Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice or dice into bite-sized pieces.

Step 3: Cook the Veggies

Steam or sauté broccoli for 3–4 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.
Leave spinach raw or lightly wilt in a hot pan for 1 minute.

Mix Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
Add fresh herbs if using.
