Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
  • 2 large sweet potatoes (about 1.5 lbs), peeled and diced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (for chicken)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for sweet potatoes)
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (for sweet potatoes)
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt (for sweet potatoes)
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa or brown rice (optional base)
  • 1–2 cups mixed greens or spinach (optional base)
  • 1/4 avocado, sliced or diced
  • 1/4 cup tahini
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey (optional)
  • 2–4 tablespoons ice water
  • Pinch of salt (for tahini sauce)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper for the marinade. Add chicken pieces and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and cayenne (if using) on a baking sheet. Roast for 25–30 minutes until golden and fork-tender.
  3. While sweet potatoes are roasting, grill the marinated chicken over medium-high heat for about 6–7 minutes on each side until cooked through.
  4. Assemble your bowl by layering quinoa or brown rice (if using), roasted sweet potatoes, sliced avocado, greens of choice, grilled chicken slices, and drizzle with tahini sauce.
