# How To Make It:
01 - Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a bowl, toss halved baby potatoes with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp paprika, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp pepper. Spread evenly on the baking sheet.
03 - Roast potatoes for 15 minutes.
04 - While potatoes are roasting, combine chicken breasts, 1 tbsp olive oil, remaining paprika, garlic powder, oregano, remaining salt and pepper, and lemon juice. Let marinate for 10 minutes.
05 - Add red bell pepper and red onion to the potatoes. Toss gently, then return to the oven and roast an additional 15 minutes or until potatoes are golden and chicken is ready to cook.
06 - Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Grill chicken for 5–6 minutes per side, or until cooked through and juices run clear. Rest chicken for 5 minutes, then slice.
07 - Arrange spinach leaves in bowls. Top with roasted potatoes, grilled chicken slices, roasted peppers and onion, and cherry tomatoes.
08 - Garnish with parsley and serve with lemon wedges, if desired.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- You get that restaurant-style grilled chicken flavor with barely any effort thanks to the smoked paprika marinade
- The roasted potatoes develop these crispy edges while staying creamy inside—honestly better than plain rice any day
02 -
- Dont crowd your baking sheet or the potatoes will steam instead of roast—use two sheets if you need to
- The chicken marinade time is flexible but 10 minutes makes a genuine difference in flavor penetration
03 -
- Pat your chicken completely dry before adding the marinade for better sear marks and more flavor absorption
- Room temperature chicken grills more evenly, so take it out of the fridge 15 minutes before cooking
