  • Submerge chicken cubes in the marinade, cover, and refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes to allow enzymatic tenderization.
  • Preheat a convection oven to 425°F (220°C) and prepare a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a secondary bowl, emulsify cubed potatoes with olive oil, oregano, garlic powder, remaining salt, and remaining pepper.
  • Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes to initiate browning.
  • Remove the sheet from the oven, shift potatoes to one side, and distribute the marinated chicken across the remaining surface area.
  • Return the tray to the oven and roast for an additional 15 to 20 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • During the final roast, combine the remaining 0.5 cup Greek yogurt, remaining lemon juice, crumbled feta, and fresh dill in a small processor or bowl and blend until smooth.
  • Portion the chicken and potatoes into containers and garnish with the dill feta cream before serving.
