Ingredients
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon cumin
Salt and pepper to taste
2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 carrots, peeled and sliced into sticks
2 cups kale or spinach
1 avocado, sliced
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
3 tablespoons yogurt-based dressing or ranch (optional)
Instructions
1. Marinate the chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Let sit for 20 minutes or overnight.
2. Grill chicken over medium-high heat for 5–6 minutes per side, until internal temp is 165°F. Let rest, then slice.
3. Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss cubed sweet potatoes and carrots with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, pepper, and a pinch of paprika. Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway.
4. Massage kale with olive oil and a pinch of salt, or prep spinach. Slice avocado, halve tomatoes, and chop cilantro.
5. Assemble bowl with greens as base. Add grilled chicken, roasted veggies, avocado, tomatoes, and cilantro. Drizzle with dressing if desired.
6. Serve immediately or store ingredients separately for up to 4 days.
Notes
Massage kale well to make it tender and more enjoyable raw.
Let grilled chicken rest before slicing to keep it juicy.
Assemble just before serving if meal prepping to preserve freshness.
