To get more out of this prep:
To add more density to this meal, you can pair with an extra form of carbs such as rice, bread or additional potato! To increase your fibre intake, opt for a wholegrain carb. You can add more protein by increasing the chicken portion, which is already low on saturated fats. If you're looking to add more good fats into the serving, lightly drizzle extra virgin olive oil over either the potatoes or chicken before cooking.
