Lemon-Herb Garlic Chicken Fries

1Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.

2In a large bowl, toss the potato matchsticks with vegetable oil (3 tbsp), garlic powder (1 tsp), and salt (½ tsp) until evenly coated. Spread them in a single layer on one baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.

3While the fries bake, whisk together olive oil (2 tbsp), minced garlic (3 cloves), oregano, salt (½ tsp), and pepper in a medium bowl. Add the chicken strips and toss to coat thoroughly.

4Place the marinated chicken strips on the second baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and slightly browned.

5In a small bowl, combine the lemon zest, lemon juice, parsley, and dill.

6Once the fries and chicken are done, transfer them both to a large mixing bowl. Pour the lemon-herb mixture over them and toss gently to combine.

7Garnish with grated Parmesan cheese if desired and serve immediately while hot and zesty.
