Ingredients
Scale
Proteins and Vegetables
- 2 medium chicken breasts (about 12 oz), diced
- 2 cups baby potatoes, quartered
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 red onion, sliced
Seasonings and Oil
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Dressing (Optional)
- 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Garnish
- Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare and roast the potatoes: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the quartered baby potatoes on a baking sheet. Drizzle with half a tablespoon of olive oil, then sprinkle with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to ensure the potatoes are evenly coated. Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes until the potatoes are golden brown and tender.
- Cook the chicken: While the potatoes roast, heat the remaining half tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced chicken breasts and season with salt, pepper, and dried Italian seasoning. Cook the chicken for 6-8 minutes until browned and cooked through, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Sauté the vegetables with the chicken: Add broccoli florets, halved cherry tomatoes, and sliced red onion to the skillet with the chicken. Continue cooking for another 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally until the vegetables are tender yet still crisp.
- Assemble the bowls: Divide the roasted potatoes evenly between two serving bowls. Top with the cooked chicken and vegetable mixture.
- Prepare the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the plain Greek yogurt, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- Dress and garnish: Drizzle the yogurt dressing over the chicken and potato bowls. Garnish with fresh parsley if using. Serve warm and enjoy your healthy, delicious meal!
Notes
- You can substitute baby potatoes with fingerling potatoes or Yukon gold potatoes for similar results.
- If you prefer spicy flavors, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili flakes to the potato seasoning.
- The dressing is optional but adds a bright, tangy element to the dish; you can also swap Greek yogurt for a dairy-free yogurt to make it lactose-free.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in a skillet or microwave.
- For extra veggies, consider adding bell peppers or green beans during the sauté step.
