Description

Juicy grilled chicken thighs seasoned with smoky paprika and herbs, paired with a creamy dill and sour cream potato salad — a flavorful, comforting dish that’s ideal for summer dinners or backyard gatherings.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Lemon wedges, for serving
  • 1 1/2 lbs baby potatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
  • 1/4 cup red bell pepper, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Boil baby potatoes in salted water for 12–15 minutes or until tender. Drain and let cool.
  2. While potatoes cool, mix sour cream, mayo, mustard, dill, red bell pepper, and red onion in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Fold in the cooled potatoes and refrigerate the salad until ready to serve.
  4. In a bowl, mix olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Add chicken thighs and coat well.
  5. Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
  6. Grill chicken for 5–7 minutes per side or until cooked through and nicely charred.
  7. Slice grilled chicken and serve alongside chilled potato salad.
  8. Garnish with chopped parsley and lemon wedges.

Notes

  • For extra tang, add a splash of lemon juice to the potato salad dressing.
  • Chicken can be marinated ahead of time for deeper flavor.
  • Use Greek yogurt in place of sour cream for a lighter potato salad.
  • This dish pairs well with grilled vegetables or corn on the cob.
