Chicken, Vegetable, and Potato Bake with Creamy Kiwi Garlic Sauce

Here’s a delicious and unique recipe for a Chicken, Vegetable, and Potato Bake with Creamy Kiwi Garlic Sauce. The combination of tender chicken, roasted vegetables, and a tangy-sweet kiwi sauce makes this dish flavorful and satisfying.

Ingredients:

For the Bake:

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)

3 medium potatoes, diced into 1-inch cubes

1 zucchini, sliced

1 red bell pepper, chopped

1 small red onion, sliced

2 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp paprika

1 tsp dried thyme

1 tsp garlic powder

Salt & black pepper to taste

For the Creamy Kiwi Garlic Sauce:

2 ripe kiwis, peeled and blended

3 cloves garlic, minced

½ cup Greek yogurt (or sour cream)

2 tbsp mayonnaise

1 tbsp honey (or maple syrup)

1 tbsp lemon juice

½ tsp salt

Fresh cilantro or parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Bake:

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

In a large bowl, toss the potatoes, zucchini, bell pepper, and onion with olive oil, paprika, thyme, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

Spread the vegetables on a baking sheet in a single layer.

Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil, then place them on top of the vegetables.

Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temp 165°F/75°C) and the potatoes are tender.

2. Make the Creamy Kiwi Garlic Sauce:

In a blender or food processor, blend the kiwis until smooth.

In a bowl, mix the kiwi puree, minced garlic, Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, honey, lemon juice, and salt.

Adjust seasoning to taste—add more honey for sweetness or lemon for tanginess.

3. Serve:

Drizzle the kiwi garlic sauce over the baked chicken and vegetables.

Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley if desired.

Why This Works:

The kiwi sauce adds a bright, slightly sweet, and tangy flavor that pairs well with the savory chicken and roasted vegetables.

The garlic and yogurt balance the acidity of the kiwi, creating a creamy, flavorful sauce.

This dish is easy to customize—swap vegetables (carrots, broccoli, or sweet potatoes work well) or adjust the sauce to your taste.
