Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 Large russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Whole grain mustard
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
- 0.5 cup Cucumber, diced
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.5 cup Red onion, thinly sliced
- 0.5 cup Feta cheese, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Peel the potatoes and cut them into thick fries. Place them in a bowl of cold water to remove excess starch, then pat them dry with a clean towel.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, salt, paprika, black pepper, and half of the oregano until evenly coated.
Spread the seasoned fries in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through, until the fries are golden brown and crispy.
While the fries are baking, prepare the chicken. Cut the chicken breast into small, bite-sized chunks.
In a medium bowl, mix the chicken with garlic powder, the remaining oregano, lemon juice, and whole grain mustard. Let it marinate for about 10 minutes.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cooked through and golden brown.
In a small bowl, stir together the Greek yogurt and cucumber to make a simple tzatziki sauce.
Once the fries are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a moment.
To assemble, place the fries on a serving platter, top with the cooked chicken, cherry tomatoes, red onion, feta cheese, and prepared tzatziki sauce.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Enjoy your high protein Greek fries while they're warm and flavorful.
