Perfect in this weather 😍 recipe below: CREAMY SMASHED POTATO & CHICKEN SALAD (Serves 2) Warm, hearty, crunchy, and herby — everything tossed in together for a proper loaded salad bowl. ⸻ INGREDIENTS Potatoes • 400–500g baby potatoes • 1–2 tbsp olive oil • Salt • Black pepper • ½ tsp garlic powder • ½ tsp dried thyme or rosemary (optional) Chicken • 2 boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts • 1 tbsp olive oil • ½ tsp smoked paprika • ½ tsp garlic powder • ½ tsp dried oregano • Zest of ½ lemon • Salt & black pepper Veg (to mix into dressing) • ½ small red onion, finely diced • ¼ cucumber, chopped small • 1 salad tomato, deseeded and diced • Optional: a handful of chopped lettuce if you want extra crunch Creamy Herb Dressing • 2 tbsp mayonnaise • 1 tbsp Greek yogurt or sour cream • 1 tsp Dijon mustard • 1 tsp white wine vinegar or lemon juice • ½ tsp honey (optional) • Salt & black pepper to taste • 1 tbsp chopped parsley or dill (or both) ⸻ METHOD ⸻ Step 1: Boil the Potatoes 1. Wash 400–500g baby potatoes. 2. Boil in salted water for 15–18 minutes until fork-tender. 3. Drain and let them steam dry for 5 minutes. ⸻ Step 2: Smash & Roast the Potatoes 4. Preheat oven to 220°C (200°C fan). 5. Line a tray with parchment. 6. Place potatoes on tray and smash them flat with the bottom of a glass. 7. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and herbs. 8. Roast for 20–25 mins until crispy. ⸻ Step 3: Season & Cook the Chicken 9. Mix chicken with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, oregano, lemon zest, salt & pepper. 10. Let marinate 10–15 minutes. 11. Pan-fry, grill, or air fry for 6–8 mins per side, or until cooked through. 12. Rest 5 mins, then slice into strips. ⸻ Step 4: Prep the Veg 13. Finely dice red onion. 14. Chop cucumber into small pieces. 15. Cut salad tomato into small dice (remove seeds to reduce excess moisture). 16. Optional: chop lettuce finely if adding. ⸻ Step 5: Make the Dressing 17. In a large bowl, add mayo, yogurt, Dijon mustard, vinegar/lemon juice, and honey. 18. Season with salt and pepper. 19. Add chopped parsley or dill. 20. Mix until creamy and smooth. ⸻ Step 6: Fold in the Veg 21. Add diced red onion, cucumber, tomato (and lettuce if using) into the dressing. 22. Stir everything together to coat the veg. ⸻ Step 7: Assemble the Salad 23. Add warm crispy smashed potatoes to the bowl. 24. Gently fold them into the dressed veg (don’t worry if they break a little — that makes it better). 25. Add sliced chicken on top or mix it in fully depending on preference. ⸻ Step 8: Serve 26. Plate up into two bowls or serve straight from the big mixing bowl. 27. Garnish with extra herbs, black pepper, or a squeeze of lemon. 28. Optional: chill for 30 mins if serving cold, but it’s amazing warm too.
