This is the kind of main dish that’s a full spread without asking the host to do a hundred different things. The chicken thighs are marinated in Greek yogurt, lemon, garlic, honey, herbs, and paprika, then grilled or pan-fried until golden, charred, and juicy. Chicken thighs are also a smart budget play since they’re flavorful, forgiving, and ideal for feeding a group.
The couscous salad ties in the late summer with dried apricots, dried cherries, toasted almonds, scallions, parsley, and mint. It’s bright and textured, with little pockets of sweetness from the fruit and crunch from the almonds.
Serve everything with the lemon-dill yogurt sauce and let people build their own plates with chicken, couscous, pita, whipped feta, cucumbers, and extra herbs. It feels abundant, colorful, and special, but the structure is super simple for attainable hosting.
