Ingredients

  • Salt & ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 100 g ham, diced

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Can I use chicken thighs instead of breast?Yes. Thighs offer juicier texture; bake until internal temp reaches 74°C/165°F.
  2. Can this be prepped ahead?Absolutely. Bake chicken and make salad a day ahead; store separately and reheat before serving.
  3. Is the salad gluten-free?Yes, ingredients are naturally gluten-free. Confirm labels (dressing, chips).
  4. Can it be low‑fat?Yes—use low-fat mascarpone or Greek yogurt in bake, reduce oil in salad.
  5. How should leftovers be stored?Keep chicken and salad in sealed containers, refrigerator up to 3 days. Chips added before serving.
  6. Can I freeze the bake?Yes, wrap tightly and freeze up to 2 months. Thaw overnight and warm in oven.
  7. Can I add other vegetables?Yes—mushrooms, broccoli, or spinach work well.
  8. How spicy is the dish?Mild. Add chili flakes to cheese topping or paprika for a slight kick.
  9. What cheese can I use instead of mascarpone?Ricotta, cream cheese or goat cheese are good alternatives.
  10. Best way to reheat leftovers?Reheat chicken bake at 160°C (320°F) for 15–20 min. Serve potato salad cold or at room temperature.
