Ingredients
Scale
Protein and Vegetables
- 2 medium boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into bite-sized pieces)
- 3 medium red or Yukon gold potatoes (diced)
- 2 cups baby spinach or mixed greens
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 1/4 cup red onion (thinly sliced)
- 1/4 avocado (sliced)
Seasonings and Oils
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Toppings and Garnish
- 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt or light sour cream (for topping)
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Potatoes: Toss the diced potatoes with half the olive oil, half the garlic powder, half the smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Spread them on one side of the baking sheet in a single layer for even roasting.
- Prepare Chicken: In a separate bowl, toss the chicken pieces with the remaining olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and onion powder until well coated. Arrange the chicken on the other side of the baking sheet.
- Roast: Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping the chicken and potatoes halfway through cooking to ensure they become golden brown and cooked evenly. Check that potatoes are crispy and chicken is cooked through.
- Assemble Bowls: Divide the baby spinach or mixed greens evenly between two bowls. Top each bowl with roasted potatoes, roasted chicken, cherry tomatoes, red onion slices, and avocado slices.
- Add Toppings: Add a dollop of plain Greek yogurt or light sour cream on top of each bowl to add creaminess. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for added freshness if desired.
Notes
- For convenience, roast the chicken and potatoes ahead of time and reheat just before serving.
- Try swapping potatoes with sweet potatoes or adding cooked quinoa for a different flavor and texture.
- Drizzle a light vinaigrette over the bowl to enhance flavors and add zest.
