👨🍳 Instructions
Prep the Chicken:
Toss chicken strips with olive oil, lime juice, paprika, oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Bake the Sweet Potato Wedges:
Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Toss wedges with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping once, until tender and browned.
Grill the Chicken:
Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high. Grill chicken for 4–5 minutes per side, until cooked through and lightly charred. Set aside and sprinkle with fresh herbs.
Make the Tomato Salad:
Combine cherry tomatoes, red onion, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper. Let sit 5 minutes before serving.
Prepare the Avocado Dip:
Mash avocado with yogurt, garlic, lime juice, salt, and pepper until creamy. Fold in red onion and optional tomatoes or jalapeño. Taste and adjust seasoning.
Assemble:
Divide grilled chicken, sweet potato wedges, tomato salad, and avocado dip into bowls or meal prep containers. Top with more herbs if desired.
💡 Notes & Variations
Use chicken thighs instead of breasts for juicier results.
Swap Greek yogurt in the dip with vegan yogurt for dairy-free.
Add a few crushed tortilla chips for crunch!
