Ingredients
Chicken
½ cup plain Greek yogurt 2 tablespoons red curry paste 1 tablespoon vegetable oil 1 teaspoon table salt ½ teaspoon pepper 4 (6- to 8-ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, trimmed and cut into 2-inch chunksSauce
½ cup plain Greek yogurt ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro 1 tablespoon lime juice 1 tablespoon water 1 teaspoon red curry paste ¼ teaspoon table salt ⅛ teaspoon pepperVegetables
1 ½ pounds small red potatoes, unpeeled, halved¼ cup vegetable oil, divided¾ teaspoon table salt, divided½ teaspoon pepper, divided1 pound broccoli florets, cut into 2-inch piecesBefore You Begin
Use small red potatoes measuring 1 to 2 inches in diameter (about the size of a golf ball). We developed this recipe using Thai Kitchen Red Curry Paste; a 4-ounce jar is plenty here. You will need four 12-inch metal skewers here.
Instructions
- Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 475 degrees. Whisk yogurt, curry paste, oil, salt, and pepper together in medium bowl. Add chicken and stir to combine. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 1 hour. Thread chicken onto four 12-inch metal skewers; set aside.
- Whisk all ingredients together in bowl.
- Line rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. Toss potatoes, 2 tablespoons oil, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper together on prepared sheet. Arrange potatoes, cut side down, around outside of sheet. Bake until bottoms begin to brown, about 15 minutes.
- Remove sheet from oven and heat broiler. Toss broccoli, remaining 2 tablespoons oil, remaining ¼ teaspoon salt, and remaining ¼ teaspoon pepper together in medium bowl. Place broccoli in center of sheet. Place kebabs around perimeter of sheet on top of potatoes. Return sheet to oven and broil until chicken is lightly charred on top, about 8 minutes. Flip kebabs and continue to broil until lightly charred on second side and chicken registers 160 degrees, 6 to 8 minutes longer. Serve kebabs with vegetables and sauce.

Why This Recipe Works
Kebabs don't have to be just for grilling. Here, we managed a dinner of meat, vegetables, and starch all on one pan—with a bit of staggered cooking and a bit of help from the kebabs themselves. Briefly marinating the chicken in yogurt and Thai red curry paste seasoned it, kept it juicy, and helped brown the exterior. Beginning the roasting with a layer of potatoes around the perimeter of the baking sheet (the best place for browning) jump-started their cooking, ensuring that they were cooked through at the same time as the kebabs. Next, we added broccoli florets to the center of the sheet and broiled them for quick cooking and flavorful browning. Rather than add the chicken directly to the sheet to turn steamy, we used the skewers to prop the chicken pieces on top of the potatoes, closer to the broiler element. A quick stir-together sauce of more yogurt and a touch more red curry paste finished things off.
