Grilled Chicken & Sweet Potato Bowl
A delicious and nutritious bowl featuring marinated grilled chicken and roasted sweet potatoes, perfect for a wholesome meal.
Ingredients
Chicken
- 1.5 lbs chicken pieces or fillets trim any excess fat.
- 2 tablespoons olive oil extra virgin for best flavor.
- 2 large sweet potatoes peeled and diced into 1-inch cubes.
- 1 cup cooked quinoa or brown rice optional base.
- 1/4 cup tahini well-stirred.
Instructions
- Marinate the chicken with olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss sweet potatoes with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and cayenne. Roast for 20-25 minutes.
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Grill chicken for 5-7 minutes per side until cooked through.
- Prepare tahini dressing by whisking tahini, lemon juice, maple syrup, and garlic. Thin with ice water to desired consistency.
- Assemble bowls with quinoa or greens, topped with sweet potatoes, grilled chicken, avocado, and tahini dressing.
Notes
For extra flavor, let the chicken marinate longer, but avoid more than 4 hours due to the acidity of lemon juice.
