Description

A vibrant and satisfying bowl featuring grilled chicken, roasted sweet potatoes, fresh avocado salsa, and a creamy herbed yogurt dip. Perfect for a healthy and flavorful meal.


Ingredients

  • For the chicken: 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • For the sweet potatoes: 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • For the avocado salsa: 1 large avocado, diced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 jalapeño, seeded and minced (optional)
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Salt to taste
  • For the herbed yogurt dip: 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste


Instructions

  1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat and oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a small bowl, mix olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Rub the mixture over the chicken breasts.
  3. Toss sweet potato cubes with olive oil and salt. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, until tender and slightly caramelized.
  4. While the sweet potatoes roast, grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side, until cooked through (internal temperature 165°F). Remove from grill and let rest for 5 minutes, then slice.
  5. In a medium bowl, combine avocado, cherry tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, jalapeño (if using), lime juice, and salt. Gently mix.
  6. In another bowl, mix Greek yogurt, dill, parsley, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper.
  7. To assemble bowls, divide roasted sweet potatoes among four bowls. Top with sliced grilled chicken, avocado salsa, and a dollop of herbed yogurt dip.
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

You can customize the seasonings to taste. For extra heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the chicken rub. The avocado salsa and yogurt dip can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator.
