Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss sweet potato wedges with olive oil, paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway.
  2. While potatoes roast, marinate chicken in olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder, paprika, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Grill chicken over medium-high heat for 5–6 minutes per side until cooked through. Let rest, then slice.
  4. Mix salsa ingredients in a bowl: tomatoes, onion, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Let sit to develop flavor.
  5. Assemble bowls with a base of greens and rice or grain of choice. Top with chicken slices, sweet potato wedges, salsa, and avocado.
  6. Add optional toppings and a final squeeze of lime before serving.

Notes

  • Swap chicken for shrimp, tofu, or black beans for a vegetarian option.
  • Change up the grain with farro, barley, or couscous.
  • Add hummus or chipotle mayo for extra flavor.
  • Cook chicken in a skillet if grilling isn’t available.
  • Store components separately for up to 3 days for meal prep.
