INSTRUCTIONS

Prep

1

Chicken: The USDA does not recommend washing or rinsing raw chicken as doing so can spread bacteria to kitchen surfaces.

2

Vegetables: The first thing you need to do is wash them carefully since we’re not cooking them. Wash them gently under running water.

Cook

1

Season 8 oz chicken with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp paprika, 1/2 tsp pepper, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp garlic powder. Mix well and let them marinate for 3 minutes.

2

Place the marinated chicken and 8 oz of cut potatoes on a lined baking tray. Cook in the oven for 12 minutes at 400°F.

3

Meanwhile, make the dressing. Combine 2 tbsp Japanese mayonnaise, 2 tbsp milk, 2 tbsp Greek yogurt, and 1/2 tsp garlic powder.

4

Let the fries and chicken cool then slice the chicken into equal slices of your choosing.

5

Assemble the salad with 4 oz romaine lettuce, 2 oz cucumbers, 3 oz cherry tomatoes, 1 oz red onion, fries, chicken, and 0.5 oz cheddar cheese.

6

Garnish with 2 tbsp parsley, serve, and enjoy.
