# Step-by-Step:

01 - Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a bowl, toss halved baby potatoes with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp paprika, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp pepper. Spread evenly on the baking sheet.
03 - Roast potatoes for 15 minutes.
04 - While potatoes are roasting, combine chicken breasts, 1 tbsp olive oil, remaining paprika, garlic powder, oregano, remaining salt and pepper, and lemon juice. Let marinate for 10 minutes.
05 - Add red bell pepper and red onion to the potatoes. Toss gently, then return to the oven and roast an additional 15 minutes or until potatoes are golden and chicken is ready to cook.
06 - Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Grill chicken for 5–6 minutes per side, or until cooked through and juices run clear. Rest chicken for 5 minutes, then slice.
07 - Arrange spinach leaves in bowls. Top with roasted potatoes, grilled chicken slices, roasted peppers and onion, and cherry tomatoes.
08 - Garnish with parsley and serve with lemon wedges, if desired.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • You get that restaurant-quality grilled flavor without heavy sauces or complicated techniques
  • The potatoes roast while the chicken marinates, making efficient use of your precious weeknight time
  • Everything comes together in one bowl with minimal cleanup, leaving you satisfied but not weighed down
02 -
  • Cutting the chicken breasts in half horizontally is the secret to even cooking and juicy meat every time
  • Letting the chicken rest after grilling prevents all those juices from running out onto your cutting board
  • The smoked paprika does the heavy lifting for flavor, so don't be tempted to skip the marinating time
03 -
  • Don't crowd your baking sheet or the vegetables will steam instead of roast
  • If your chicken breasts are thick, pound them slightly before halving for even better results
  • The parchment paper saves you from scrubbing roasted-on seasoning off your pan
