2 cups mixed greens or shredded kale
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
2 tbsp fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped
Instructions
1. Peel and chop sweet potatoes and carrots into bite-sized pieces.
2. Toss them in 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, pepper, and cumin. Spread on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
3. Roast in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through.
4. Rub chicken breasts with the remaining olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
5. Grill on medium-high heat for 5–6 minutes per side or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
6. Slice chicken into strips once rested.
7. Prepare avocado and herbs.
8. In serving bowls, layer greens, roasted veggies, grilled chicken, and avocado.
9. Garnish with herbs and serve with optional dressing like tahini or lemon-garlic yogurt sauce.
Notes
For juicier meat, let the grilled chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Swap avocado for hummus or tahini for a creamy twist.
