- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp paprika
For the Chicken:
- 1 lb boneless chicken breast or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 tbsp oil
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- Salt & black pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp burger seasoning or BBQ sauce (optional)
Fresh Toppings:
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- ½ red onion, thinly sliced (optional)
Burger Sauce:
- 3 tbsp mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp plain yogurt
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp smoked red pepper or chili flakes (optional)
- 1 small onion, roughly chopped
- 1 tsp pickle juice
- 2–3 pickles, finely chopped
White Garlic Sauce:
- 4 garlic cloves, grated
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1–2 tsp fresh lemon juice
- Salt to taste
- ½ tsp black pepper
Extra Toppings (Highly Recommended):
- Shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese
- Extra chopped pickles
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Method
- Make the Burger Sauce Blend mayonnaise, yogurt, paprika, garlic powder, smoked red pepper (if using), onion, and pickle juice until smooth. Stir in the chopped pickles at the end. Set aside.
- Make the White Garlic Sauce Mix grated garlic, mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Adjust consistency with a splash of water if needed. Chill until ready to use.
- Prepare the Fries Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) or use an air fryer. Toss potato fries with oil, salt, garlic powder, and paprika. Bake/air fry until golden and extra crispy (18–25 minutes).
- Cook the Chicken Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken pieces with smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for 6–8 minutes until golden and fully cooked. You can add a splash of BBQ sauce at the end for extra flavor.
- Assemble the Loaded Bowl In a large serving bowl, add a generous base of crispy fries. Top with cooked chicken, shredded lettuce, cherry tomatoes, and sliced onions. Drizzle generously with both Burger Sauce and White Garlic Sauce. Sprinkle with shredded cheese while the chicken is still hot so it melts slightly. Garnish with extra pickles and parsley.
Pro Tips
- Double-fry the potatoes or use frozen steak fries for maximum crispiness.
- Make both sauces ahead — they taste better after sitting for 30 minutes.
- Add jalapeños or crushed red pepper if you like it spicy.
- For a low-carb version, serve over roasted cauliflower instead of fries.
