Ingredients

Chicken Marinade

  • 1.5 lbs chicken pieces or fillets (trim any excess fat.)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (extra virgin for best flavor.)
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed is best.)
  • 2 large sweet potatoes (peeled and diced into 1-inch cubes.)
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa or brown rice (optional base.)

Instructions 

  • Marinate the chicken with olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss sweet potatoes with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and cayenne. Roast for 20-25 minutes.
  • Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Grill chicken for 5-7 minutes per side until cooked through.
  • Let chicken rest, then slice. Assemble bowls with quinoa/rice, sweet potatoes, and chicken.
  • Top with avocado, feta, and tahini dressing if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the chicken longer, but avoid more than 4 hours with lemon juice.
