How to Make This Protein Chicken Bacon Potato Bowl

1. Preheat and Prep

Preheat your oven to 400°F. While the oven heats, turn on your grill as well. Starting everything at once helps the entire recipe flow smoothly.

While things warm up:

• Cut your potatoes into thirds.
  
• Dice your beef bacon into 1-inch pieces.
  

This small step saves time later.

2. Roast the Potatoes

Place the cut potatoes on a large baking sheet with a lip.

Drizzle olive oil over the top.

Season with salt and pepper.

Roast for 30–40 minutes until the centers turn soft and the outsides crisp up beautifully.

Once the potatoes go into the oven, move on to the chicken and bacon.

---

3. Cook the Chicken

Grill or bake your chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 160°F. Season it however you like. Salt and pepper create a classic flavor, but you can use your favorite blend.

After cooking, cut the chicken into 1-inch pieces.

Juicy, well-seasoned chicken makes this chicken bacon potato protein bowl extra satisfying.

4. Fry the Beef Bacon

Place your diced beef bacon in a pan over medium heat. I like to use a lid to control splatter.

Cook until crispy.

Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

Set aside.

The crispy bacon adds texture and deep flavor to the bowl.

5. Blend the Protein Sauce

Add the following to a blender:

• Cottage cheese
  
• Greek yogurt
  
• Lemon juice
  
• Parmesan
  
• Milk
  
• Salt
  
• Pepper
  
• Chili seasoning (or Sriracha)
  

Blend until completely smooth.

This creamy protein sauce for chicken and potato bowls tastes bright, savory, and slightly tangy. It coats every bite without feeling heavy.
