Marinating the chicken

Cooking the chicken
  1. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with olive oil. Sear the marinated chicken for 5-6 minutes per side, brushing with the remaining glaze.
Making the salad

Serving the dish

Notes

For extra crispy potatoes, soak them in cold water for 30 minutes before seasoning. Feel free to substitute chicken with firm tofu for a vegetarian option or sweet potatoes for a healthier twist.
