Method

Main Course

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a large bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade. Add the boneless chicken thighs and coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Preheat your grill or oven to medium-high heat. Grill or bake the marinated chicken for 20-25 minutes, turning halfway, until fully cooked and juices run clear.

Sides

  1. 3

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel and chop the potatoes into quarters. Place them in a large pot, cover with water, and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook for about 15-20 minutes until tender.

  2. 4

    Mash the Potatoes

    Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot. Add butter and mash until smooth. Chop fresh parsley and mix in for added flavor.

Salad

  1. 5

    Prepare the Salad Ingredients

    Wash and dry the mixed greens. Halve the cherry tomatoes and slice the cucumber.

  2. 6

    Assemble the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, and cucumber. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar and toss gently. Crumble feta cheese on top before serving.

Dessert

  1. 7

    Prepare the Chocolate Cake Batter

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, eggs, water, and vegetable oil. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes until smooth.

  2. 8

    Bake the Cake

    Pour the batter into a greased 9x13 inch baking pan. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow to cool before serving.
