Ingredients
- Chicken Breasts: Lean protein that cooks quickly for a hearty base.
- Baby Potatoes: Small potatoes that roast beautifully; their creaminess complements the dish.
- Olive Oil: To help crisp the potatoes and enhance flavor; can substitute with avocado oil.
- Seasonings (Garlic Powder, Paprika, Salt, Pepper): Basic spices to bring out the chicken and potato flavors.
- Fresh Spinach: Adds color and nutrition; feel free to substitute with kale or other greens.
- Cherry Tomatoes: Fresh and juicy additions that provide a bright contrast to the dish.
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Cut baby potatoes in half and place them on the baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper, tossing to coat.
- Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until crispy and tender, flipping halfway through.
- While the potatoes are roasting, season the chicken breasts with the same spices used for the potatoes for consistent flavor.
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the seasoned chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes per side until cooked through and juices run clear.
- In the last few minutes of cooking, add the fresh spinach and cherry tomatoes to the skillet, sautéing just until the spinach wilts.
- Once everything is cooked, assemble your bowls by adding the roasted potatoes, chicken, sautéed spinach, and tomatoes. Drizzle with extra olive oil if desired, and enjoy!
Notes
- Use sweet potatoes for a twist on your bowl.
- Marinate the chicken for more intense flavor.
- Customize the veggies based on your preference.
