Method
-
1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
-
2
On one baking sheet, toss the frozen broccoli florets with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, half a teaspoon of garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated. Spread in a single layer.
-
3
Place the Skin-On Coated French Fries on the second baking sheet, spreading them out evenly. Bake both the broccoli and fries for 20-25 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender-crisp and the fries are golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through.
-
4
While the vegetables and fries are baking, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
-
5
Season the Chicken Zinger Fillets with the dried oregano, remaining half teaspoon of garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Carefully place the seasoned fillets in the hot pan.
-
6
Sear the chicken for 3-4 minutes per side, or until deeply golden brown, crispy, and cooked through to an internal temperature of 74°C (165°F).
-

Once everything is cooked, toss the hot fries with an extra pinch of salt and, if desired, a sprinkle of fresh chopped parsley. Arrange the crispy chicken fillets, roasted broccoli, and garlic fries artfully on plates and serve immediately.
For an extra kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the chicken seasoning. Don't overcrowd the baking sheets or the pan; cook in batches if necessary to ensure everything crisps up beautifully. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the finished dish brightens all the flavors.
