Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Start with the potatoes so they have time to crisp.
  2. Toss potato slices with half of the olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt.
  3. Bake or pan-fry until golden and crisp, then set aside.
  4. Season chicken with salt and pepper and cook in the remaining olive oil until just done.
  5. Let the chicken rest briefly, then slice.
  6. In a large bowl, combine salad greens, tomatoes, and cucumber.
  7. Add warm chicken and drizzle with lemon juice.
  8. Finish with crispy potato slices on top and extra black pepper.

Common Mistakes

  • Cutting potatoes too thick — they won’t crisp properly.
  • Adding potatoes too early — keep them on top so they stay crunchy.
  • Overcooking the chicken — it should stay juicy to balance the crisp elements.
