👩🍳 Instructions
1
Pat chicken breasts dry. In a shallow dish or zip-top bag, combine 2 tbsp olive oil, rosemary, thyme, garlic, ½ tsp salt, ¼ tsp pepper, and lemon juice. Add chicken, ensuring it's coated. Marinate for at least 30 mins or up to 4 hours in the fridge.
2
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Toss sweet potato fries with 1 tbsp olive oil, smoked paprika, ¼ tsp salt, and ⅛ tsp pepper. Spread in a single layer on the baking sheet.
3
Roast fries for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway, until tender and crispy.
4
While fries roast, preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly brush grates with olive oil. Grill marinated chicken for 5-7 minutes per side, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove and rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
5
Prepare avocado salsa: In a medium bowl, gently combine diced avocado, quartered cherry tomatoes, diced red onion, and chopped cilantro. Drizzle with 1 tbsp lime juice and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Gently toss.
6
Assemble bowls: Create a bed of mixed greens (if using). Arrange sweet potato fries and sliced grilled chicken. Top generously with creamy avocado salsa. Serve immediately with extra lime wedges if desired.
💡 Notes
For best results, use fresh herbs and a ripe, but firm, avocado. If you don't have a grill, pan-sear the chicken on the stovetop. Leftover chicken can be stored for 3-4 days; reheat gently to prevent drying. Avocado salsa is best made fresh.
