Categories     Chicken

Time 55m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 lbs medium yukon gold potatoes, sliced 1/4 inch thick
1 (10 ounce) bag spinach
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
4 (6 ounce) chicken breasts
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
lemon wedge, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450°F In a very large roasting pan, toss the potatoes, spinach and onion with the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and spread in an even layer.
  • Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper, sprinkle with the paprika and rosemary; set on top of the vegetables.
  • Cover the pan with foil. Roast the chicken in upper third of oven for 20 minutes. Remove foil and roast for 30 minutes longer, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender. Transfer the chicken to plates and spoon the vegetables alongside. Serve with lemon wedges.

Tips:

  • Utilize Fresh Ingredients: Opt for fresh, vibrant ingredients to elevate the flavor and nutritional value of your salad. Choose crisp spinach, tender chicken, and flavorful vegetables.
  • Marinate the Chicken: Infuse the chicken with savory flavors by marinating it in a mixture of olive oil, herbs, and spices before cooking. This step enhances the taste and tenderness of the chicken.
  • Roast the Potatoes: Roast the potatoes until they achieve a golden-brown crispiness. This adds a delightful textural contrast to the salad and enhances its overall appeal.
  • Prepare the Dressing in Advance: Make the dressing ahead of time to allow the flavors to meld and intensify. This simple vinaigrette, made with a blend of olive oil, vinegar, and seasonings, complements the salad beautifully.
  • Assemble Just Before Serving: To maintain the freshness and crispiness of the salad, assemble it just before serving. This prevents the dressing from wilting the greens and ensures a vibrant, appetizing presentation.

Conclusion:

This Spinach Salad with Chicken and Crispy Potatoes combines vibrant flavors, textures, and colors to create a satisfying and nutritious meal. The tender chicken, crispy potatoes, and tangy dressing complement each other perfectly, while the spinach provides a refreshing base. Whether served as a light lunch, a hearty dinner, or a side dish, this salad is sure to impress with its delightful taste and visual appeal. For an extra touch of elegance, consider garnishing the salad with crumbled bacon or toasted nuts just before serving. Enjoy this delicious and versatile recipe that's perfect for any occasion!
