- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
For the Roasted Potatoes:
- 1 lb baby potatoes (whole or halved)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil

For the Veggie Slaw:
- 2 cups mixed shredded cabbage (green and purple)

- 1/4 cup sunflower seeds or sliced almonds (optional)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (or lemon juice)
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup

Instructions
-
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Toss the baby potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
- Spread the potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast for 25-30 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through for even cooking.
- Cook the Chicken:
- While the potatoes are roasting, season the chicken breasts with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, salt, and pepper.
- Grill the chicken on a hot grill pan or outdoor grill for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked (internal temperature reaches 165°F or 74°C).
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes, then slice it into strips.
- Prepare the Veggie Slaw:
- In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, carrots, and Brussels sprouts (if using).
- Add the sunflower seeds or almonds for extra crunch.
- In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper to make the dressing. Pour it over the slaw and toss to combine.
- Assemble the Bowl:
- Place the sliced chicken on one side of the bowl, add the roasted potatoes to the other side, and fill the rest of the bowl with the veggie slaw.
- Optional: Add a dipping sauce or drizzle for extra flavor.
