Equipment

  • Large Baking Tray
  • Sharp Knife
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Nonstick Skillet or Grill Pan
  • Saucepan
  • Whisk

Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium russet potatoes cut into wedges, skin on for extra fiber
  • 1 tbsp olive oil for roasting potatoes
  • 300 g chicken breast skinless, boneless, grilled or pan-seared
  • 80 g low-fat cheese curds or part-skim mozzarella cubes
  • 1 cup chicken stock low sodium
  • 1 tbsp whey protein powder unflavored, optional for extra protein
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp cold water
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper freshly ground
  • 1/2 tsp salt or to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat Oven: Set oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  • Prepare Potatoes: Toss potato wedges with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on tray and roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
  • Cook the Chicken: Season chicken breast with salt and pepper. Grill or pan-sear over medium heat until fully cooked (internal temp 165°F/74°C). Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice into strips.
  • Make Protein Gravy: In a saucepan, bring chicken stock to a simmer. Whisk in cornstarch slurry until thickened. Stir in whey protein powder (if using) until smooth and silky.
  • Assemble the Poutine: In a large bowl or serving dish, layer crispy potato wedges. Top with cheese curds and sliced chicken. Pour hot gravy generously over the top so the cheese melts.
  • Serve: Enjoy immediately while hot and gooey!

Notes

🔹 Air-fry potatoes for fewer calories and extra crispiness.
🔹 For meal prep, cook chicken and gravy ahead, then assemble with freshly baked potatoes.
🔹 Add sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or caramelized onions for more nutrition.
🔹 Using whey protein in gravy gives you a gym-friendly version without changing taste.
