Here’s a simple and delicious recipe for Pork and Chicken Breast with Potatoes, served with a refreshing Tzatziki sauce and a side of fresh vegetables.
Ingredients:
For the Meat:
- 2 pork chops or 2 chicken breasts (or a mix of both)
- 4 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into wedges
- Olive oil for frying
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon paprika (optional)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
For the Tzatziki Sauce:
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 medium cucumber, grated
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Salad:
- 1 small head of lettuce, chopped
- 1 cucumber, sliced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
Prepare the Meat:
Season the pork chops or chicken breasts with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Drizzle olive oil in a pan over medium heat and cook the meat until golden brown on both sides and fully cooked through. Pork should be cooked for about 7-8 minutes per side, and chicken breasts for 6-7 minutes per side, depending on thickness. Set aside.
Cook the Potatoes:
In the same pan, add a little more olive oil if needed. Fry the potato wedges until golden and crispy on the outside but tender on the inside. This should take about 10-12 minutes, turning them occasionally to cook evenly. Season with salt and pepper.
Make the Tzatziki Sauce:
Grate the cucumber and squeeze out any excess water. In a bowl, combine the grated cucumber, Greek yogurt, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, and fresh dill. Mix well, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Chill in the fridge until ready to serve.
Prepare the Salad:
In a bowl, toss the chopped lettuce and cucumber slices with a little salt and pepper.
Serve:
Plate the cooked pork and chicken alongside the crispy potato wedges. Serve with a generous portion of tzatziki sauce and a side salad of fresh lettuce and cucumber.
Enjoy your delicious Pork and Chicken Breast with Potatoes, perfectly complemented by the creamy tzatziki and crisp salad! It’s a perfect meal for any day!
