SHEET-PAN CHICKEN WITH POTATOES, ARUGULA AND GARLIC YOGURT
1 ½ pounds chicken thighs and drumsticks
1 ¼ pounds small Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into ½-inch slices
2 ½ teaspoons kosher salt, plus more as needed
½ teaspoon black pepper, plus more as needed

½ teaspoon lemon zest (from ½ lemon)
cup plain yogurt (do not use Greek yogurt)
1 small garlic clove
2 ounces baby arugula
Chopped fresh dill, as needed Lemon juice, as needed
Instructions: Combine chicken and potatoes in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, whisk together harissa, cumin and 3 tablespoons oil. Pour over chicken and potatoes; toss to combine. Let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes, or up to 8 hours in the refrigerator.
