A healthy shredded chicken recipe with boiled potatoes and garden salad, perfect for a high-protein lunch or meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium chicken breasts
  • 4 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 4 cups lettuce, chopped
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cucumber, chopped
  • 1 medium carrot, grated
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
  • Water, as needed for boiling
  • For the creamy herb dressing:
  • 1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons water, to thin if needed

Instructions

  1. Add the chicken breasts to a pot of lightly salted water and boil for 15 to 18 minutes, or until fully cooked. Remove and let cool slightly, then shred with two forks.
  2. In a separate pot, boil the potato chunks for 12 to 15 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain well and season with a little salt, black pepper, and dried parsley.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, dried parsley, garlic powder, and black pepper. Add water a little at a time until the dressing reaches your desired consistency.
  4. Arrange the lettuce, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and grated carrot on a plate or in a shallow bowl.
  5. Add the shredded chicken and boiled potatoes on the side.
  6. Drizzle the creamy herb dressing over the salad and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste.
  • For a lighter dressing, omit mayonnaise and use extra Greek yogurt.
