Classic Chicken & Root Veg Plate with Eggs & Beets



INGREDIENTS :

For the Chicken:

2 large chicken breasts, sliced into strips

1 tbsp olive oil

½ tsp salt

½ tsp black pepper

½ tsp garlic powder

For the Potatoes:

2 cups baby potatoes

Salt (for boiling)

For the Carrots:

2 large carrots, sliced into rounds

Pinch of salt

For the Beets:

2 medium beets, peeled & cubed

(or pre-cooked beets for shortcut)

For the Eggs:

3 large eggs


DIRECTIONS :

Step 1: Boil the Potatoes

Add baby potatoes to salted water.

Bring to a boil and cook 15 minutes until fork-tender.

Drain and let them steam dry.

They should look smooth, pale yellow, and slightly glossy.

Step 2: Cook the Carrots

Boil sliced carrots in lightly salted water for 8–10 minutes.

Drain once tender but still vibrant orange.

Step 3: Prepare the Beets

If raw: boil cubed beets 25–30 minutes until tender.

If pre-cooked: simply cube and set aside.

They should be deep ruby red and slightly glossy.

Step 4: Hard-Boil the Eggs

Bring water to a boil.

Add eggs and boil 9–10 minutes.

Ice bath for 5 minutes.

Peel and slice into halves or thick rounds.

Yolks should be fully set and bright yellow — no gray edges.

Step 5: Cook the Chicken

Pat chicken dry.

Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

Heat olive oil in pan over medium-high.

Cook strips 4–6 minutes until lightly golden and cooked through.

You want light browning — not heavily seared.
