Steps

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a bowl, mix the soy sauce and yogurt to create a marinade.
Add the chicken breast to the marinade, ensuring it's well coated. Let it sit for 15 minutes.
While the chicken marinates, place the diced potatoes and sliced onions on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Toss well to coat.
Roast the potatoes and onions in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes, add the marinated chicken breast to the baking sheet and return to the oven.
Bake for an additional 20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are golden and tender.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes, then garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Tips for Healthy Soy-Glazed Chicken with Roasted Potatoes and Onions

Look for browned onion edges and potatoes that are golden outside and easily pierced; crowded vegetables may soften instead of browning.
A shallow rimmed baking sheet gives the vegetables room to roast, while a small patch left clear for the chicken helps keep the pan from feeling crowded.
The yogurt coating may look slightly curdled after baking; that is normal. Letting the chicken rest briefly helps keep its slices juicy.

Drink pairing

A dry, medium-bodied rosé
Its bright fruit and refreshing acidity complement the savory soy glaze without overwhelming the chicken or roasted vegetables.

0% option: Sparkling water with a squeeze of lemon

Storage

Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours in a covered container and keep for 3–4 days. Reheat until steaming hot; the potatoes may soften after storage.

Frequently asked questions

How can I tell when the chicken is done?

The thickest part should be opaque throughout, with no pink center, and the chicken should feel firm but still springy.

Can I prepare anything ahead?

Dice the potato and slice the onion shortly ahead, then keep them covered in the refrigerator. For best texture, roast the vegetables and chicken close to serving.
