  • Large bowl

Method
 

  1. Step 1: First, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. This helps to get those beautiful grill marks!
  2. Step 2: In a bowl, combine olive oil, oregano, thyme, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Add the chicken breasts and marinate for at least 30 minutes. If you have time, marinating longer will enhance the flavors even more.
  3. Step 3: While the chicken is marinating, preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) for the fries.
  4. Step 4: Toss the cut potatoes with olive oil and salt, then spread them evenly on a baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden and crispy.
  5. Step 5: Grill the marinated chicken breasts for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
  6. Step 6: In a large bowl, combine mixed greens, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and grated carrot. Drizzle with vinaigrette dressing and toss gently.
  7. Step 7: Serve the grilled chicken alongside the fries and garden salad. Enjoy this delightful meal with family or friends!

Notes

If you have leftovers, store the grilled chicken and fries in separate airtight containers in the fridge. They will last for about 3-4 days. The salad is best enjoyed fresh, but you can keep the components separate in the fridge for a day or two and assemble when ready to eat.
