Ingredients

For the Chicken:

2 boneless chicken breasts

1 tbsp olive oil 🫒

1 tsp paprika

½ tsp garlic powder

Salt & black pepper

Juice of ½ lime 🍋

For the Sweet Potato Fries:

2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled & cut into fries 🍠

1 tbsp olive oil

½ tsp smoked paprika

Salt & pepper

Optional: 1 tsp cornstarch (for extra crispiness)

For the Guacamole:

1 ripe avocado 🥑

Instructions

Marinate the chicken: Combine olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and lime juice. Rub onto chicken and let marinate while prepping the rest.

Bake the fries: Preheat oven to 220°C (430°F). Toss sweet potato fries with oil, paprika, salt, pepper, and optional cornstarch. Spread on a lined baking sheet and bake for 25–30 minutes, flipping once, until crisp.

Grill the chicken: Cook chicken on a grill or in a grill pan over medium-high heat for 5–6 minutes per side, or until internal temp reaches 75°C (165°F). Let rest, then slice.

Make the guacamole: Mash the avocado with lime juice, garlic, and salt. Stir in any optional add-ins.

Assemble the bowl: Layer rice or quinoa, salad greens, black beans, tomatoes, grilled chicken, and sweet potato fries. Add a scoop of guacamole on top.

Garnish & serve: Sprinkle with fresh parsley or cilantro and serve immediately.
