Ingredients

Scale

Instructions

  1. Marinate chicken by mixing olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic, oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Add chicken and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and cayenne (if desired). Roast on a baking sheet for about 25–30 minutes until tender.
  3. Preheat grill over medium-high heat. Grill marinated chicken for about 6–7 minutes per side until fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F).
  4. Assemble your bowl with quinoa or brown rice at the base followed by mixed greens, grilled chicken slices, and roasted sweet potatoes. Top with avocado or feta cheese if desired.
