1
Slice the 200g chicken breast lengthwise into 2cm-thick pieces, then stack and cut into bite-sized cubes to maximize surface area for flavor absorption.
2
Place chicken in a bowl and toss with 4g olive oil, salt, 10 cracks black pepper, 1/4 tsp each of oregano, rosemary, and garlic powder, then add a squeeze of lemon juice and mix thoroughly.
3
Let the marinated chicken rest for 15–30 minutes; the acid in the lemon will tenderize the meat while developing flavor.
4
Cut 300g potatoes in half lengthwise, then slice into wedges and halve through the middle to ensure even cooking.
5
Transfer potatoes to a bowl, drizzle with 4g olive oil, and shake to coat evenly. Add salt and toss; season with remaining spices after air-frying.
6
Place potatoes in an air fryer preheated to 200°C/400°F and cook for 20 minutes. Shake the basket halfway through to ensure even crisping.
7
For tzatziki, place 100g Greek yogurt in a bowl on a scale. Add 2g olive oil, a pinch of salt, and 5g lemon juice or white wine vinegar.
8
Press or mince half a garlic clove into the mixture, add finely chopped fresh dill, and stir to combine.
9
Grate 30g cucumber finely, wrap in paper towels, and squeeze dry to remove excess liquid. Stir the dried cucumber into the tzatziki to prevent a watery dip.
10
Heat a pan to medium heat, add the marinated chicken, and sear each side for 90 seconds until cooked through.
11
Once potatoes are done, transfer to a bowl and season with 10 cracks black pepper and 1/4 tsp each of rosemary and garlic powder. This prevents aromatics from burning in the air fryer.
12
Plate the seared chicken, top with the seasoned potatoes, and finish with a generous dollop of tzatziki. Serve and enjoy this Mediterranean-style meal.
