- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 medium Yukon gold potatoes, thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp olive oil (for potatoes)
- 2 cups fresh arugula
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp capers
- 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste (for salad)
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss sliced potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through until golden and crispy.
- While the potatoes roast, season chicken breasts with olive oil, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Grill or pan-sear the chicken over medium heat for 5–7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked. Let rest, then slice.
- In a bowl, combine cherry tomatoes, red onion, capers, dill, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss gently.
- To assemble, divide arugula between bowls. Top with roasted potatoes, sliced grilled chicken, and the tomato-onion salad. Garnish with extra dill if desired.
Notes
- Swap arugula for spinach or mixed greens if preferred.
- Add crumbled feta for a creamy, salty touch.
- Leftover grilled chicken works well for meal prep.
