Ingredients and substitutions

Greek Chicken

• Chicken breast – chicken breast is the leaner meat but chicken thighs will also work (and might end up being juicier)
• Olive oil – any neutral oil like sunflower oil, avocado oil or vegetable oil can be used in place of olive oil
• Lemon juice – fresh lemon juice or bottled lemon juice will both work. If you're in a pinch, lime juice can also work in place of lemon juice.
• Garlic – fresh garlic or jarred minced garlic are both great options.
• Oregano – if you don't have dried oregano on hand, dried marjoram will also work.
• Salt & pepper (to taste)

Fries

• Russet potatoes – a high starch potato will work best to make fries, so if you don't have russet potatoes I would recommend using white potatoes.
• Olive oil – any neutral oil like sunflower oil, avocado oil or vegetable oil can be used in place of olive oil.
• Chili powder – paprika or cayenne pepper powder are great substitutes for chili powder.
• Oregano – if you don't have dried oregano on hand, dried marjoram will also work.
• Parsley – cilantro will also work in place of parsley as a garnish for the fries.
• Salt (to taste)

Topping ideas (use as many or as little as you'd like as toppings for your fries and feel free to include any other toppings you would like)

• Red onion
• Tomato
• Cucumber
• Lettuce
• Kalamata olives
• Parsley
• Tzatziki
• Hummus

Using a mandoline for the fries

Mandolines are the perfect tool for slicing vegetables as evenly as possible. They may seem intimidating at first, but when used safely they're the best easiest tool to have in the kitchen! That being said, it is very important to be safe when using the mandoline because the blades are extremely sharp.

If you decide to use the mandoline, cut the potato in half. With the cut side down, you will then use the straight cut blade and push firmly down to cut.

Storing and reheating

Any leftover chicken can be stored in a sealed container in the refrigerator and used within 3-4 days.

You can reheat it in the microwave for 1-2 minutes when you're ready to reassemble your next serving of these fries. You can also eat any leftover chicken on its own without assembling it into another dish of fries.

If you're looking to create another plate of these delicious fries, you can reheat the fries by placing them back in a 350 F oven for 5-10 minutes or so – just watch them closely to ensure they don't overcook when you're reheating them.

Freezing leftover chicken

The best part about this recipe is that you can freeze any leftover cooked chicken that you may have from this dish! It's also perfect if you're looking to prepare the toppings for your fries in advanced.

To freeze the chicken, add it to any airtight glass container or freezer bag once the chicken has cooled down completely. The cooked chicken can be kept frozen for up to 3 months. The night before you're ready to enjoy your fries, move your chicken to the fridge and defrost overnight. After it has defrosted, microwave them for a couple of minutes before adding to your fries.

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
