Description
A delicious and satisfying dish combining juicy chicken, creamy mashed potatoes, and fresh vegetables, perfect for meal prep.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 3 medium potatoes, peeled and chopped
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/3 cup milk (or dairy-free alternative)
- 1 cucumber, diced
- 1 large tomato, diced
- 1 tsp dried dill
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- Salt and black pepper (for salad)
Instructions
- Cube the chicken and toss it with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Pan-sear until golden and cooked through.
- Boil the potatoes in salted water for 12–15 minutes. Mash with butter and warm milk until silky smooth.
- Mix diced cucumber and tomato, sprinkle with dried dill, a pinch of salt, black pepper, and a splash of lemon juice.
