Ingredients
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
3 large carrots, peeled and cut into sticks
1 avocado, sliced
2 cups fresh greens (spinach, kale, or mixed)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon cumin
Salt and black pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon fresh parsley or cilantro (optional)
Instructions
1. Pat chicken breasts dry and rub with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Season with garlic powder, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Let marinate for 15–20 minutes.
2. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
3. Toss cubed sweet potatoes with ½ tablespoon olive oil, paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway.
4. Toss carrot sticks with ½ tablespoon olive oil, cumin, salt, and pepper. Roast on a separate sheet for 20–25 minutes until tender and lightly browned.
5. While veggies roast, grill the chicken on medium-high heat for 5–7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked with a nice char. Let rest before slicing.
6. Assemble bowl with a bed of fresh greens. Add roasted sweet potatoes, carrots, grilled chicken slices, and avocado.
7. Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro if desired. Drizzle with dressing of choice or a touch of olive oil. Serve immediately or store in meal-prep containers.
Notes
For crispier roasted vegetables, spread them out evenly and avoid crowding the pan.
Always rest your grilled chicken before slicing—it keeps it juicy and tender.
This bowl is great for meal prep; just store components separately to preserve freshness.
