Method
Preparing the Proteins
- 1
Cook Chicken Breast
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Heat a grill or skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F/75°C). Remove from heat and let it rest before slicing.
- 2
Cook Ground Beef
In a skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Break it apart with a spatula, season with salt and pepper, and cook for about 8-10 minutes until browned and cooked through. Drain excess fat if necessary.
- 3
Cook Fish Fillet
Season the fish fillet with salt and pepper. In a non-stick skillet, heat a small amount of olive oil over medium heat. Place the fish in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until it flakes easily with a fork. Remove from heat.
Making Cottage Fries

Prepare the Potatoes
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash the potatoes thoroughly and cut them into wedges or thick strips, leaving the skins on for added texture and flavor.

Season and Bake
In a mixing bowl, toss the potato wedges with olive oil, salt, pepper, and paprika until evenly coated. Spread the fries on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until golden and crispy, flipping halfway through.
