Ingredients
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 medium sweet potatoes peeled and cubed
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
salt and pepper to taste
1 avocado sliced
1/2 cup fresh cilantro chopped
1 cup mixed greens
1/2 cup Greek yogurt or light dressing (optional)
Instructions
1. In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, cumin, chili powder, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Coat the chicken breasts and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
2. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, cinnamon, paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway.
3. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken for 5–7 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Let it rest before slicing.
4. In serving bowls, layer mixed greens, roasted sweet potatoes, grilled chicken slices, and avocado. Top with chopped cilantro. Add a dollop of Greek yogurt or a drizzle of dressing if desired.
5. Serve immediately or store in containers for meal prep.
Notes
Let the grilled chicken rest before slicing to keep it juicy.
Roast sweet potatoes in a single layer to avoid steaming and get crisp edges.
Keep avocado and greens separate if prepping ahead to maintain freshness.
