Ingredients
  

Potatoes
  • 3 lbs.. petite red potatoes (cut into thirds)
  • 3 tbsp. olive oil (to drizzle over potatoes)
  • 1 tsp. salt (to season potatoes)
  • 1 tsp. pepper (to season potatoes)
Chicken
  • 3 lbs. chicken breast or tenders (grilled or oven baked)
Bacon
  • 2` 10 oz. packages of beef bacon (cut into 1 inch pieces and fried)
Protein Sauce
  • ½ cup freshly grated parmesan (plus a little more for toppings)
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (about 2 small containers)
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 1 freshly squeezed lemon (just the juice)
  • ¾ cup milk
  • ½ tsp. salt (you can add more to taste)
  • 1 tsp. pepper (you can add more to taste)
  • ½ tsp. chili seasoning (I recommend Dan-O's seasoning)

Method
 

Potatoes
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°. Once your potatoes are in, start all the other items.
    Note: Put in the potatoes, get the chicken on the grill, start the bacon, and make the sauce.
  2. Cut up the potatoes, place them on a large baking sheet with a lip, drizzle olive oil over the top, and season with salt and pepper.
  3. Cook for 30-40 minutes until they are soft in the middle. The outsides will be a bit crispy.
Chicken
  1. Grill or bake your 3 lbs. of chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 160°. Make sure it is done. :) Season it to your liking. Salt and pepper always taste great. You could also use a rotisserie chicken for this recipe.
  2. Cut up the chicken into 1 inch pieces once it has been cooked.
Beef Bacon
  1. Fry your beef bacon in a pan over medium heat until crispy.
  2. Drain on a paper towel lined plate and set aside for now.
Protein Sauce
  1. In a blender, blend the salt, pepper, cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, grated Parmesan cheese, milk, and any other seasonings that sound good to you. Sriracha or chili seasoning would be a good choice.
Assemble the Protein Bowls
  1. In a very large bowl, combine the cooked chicken pieces, diced up cooked bacon, roasted potatoes, protein sauce, and any additional seasonings. Stir and serve.
  2. If you don't eat it right away, separate it into glass meal prep containers and serve throughout the week. Enjoy!
