Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (400°F).

  2. Toss the potato wedges with 2 tbsp olive oil, salt, and black pepper; spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet.

  3. Bake for 25–30 minutes, turning the wedges once halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Wedges are golden brown and crisp. Turn them once midway for even browning.

  4. While the potatoes are baking, steam or microwave the sweetcorn until heated through, then set aside.

  5. In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, halved cherry tomatoes, and sliced cucumber.

  6. Dress the salad with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp lemon juice, and season with salt and black pepper to taste; toss gently.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Leaves and vegetables are lightly coated with dressing. Toss gently to keep the greens intact.

  7. Season the chicken breasts on both sides with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

  8. Grill the chicken over medium‑high heat for 6–7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 167°F (165°F) and the juices run clear.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Chicken is browned outside and cooked through. Use the stated internal temperature as the doneness check.

  9. Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 3 minutes before slicing.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Juices settle and the chicken is easier to slice.

  10. Plate the crispy potato wedges, warm sweetcorn, fresh green salad, and sliced grilled chicken together and serve immediately.
