Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well blended.
- Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken thighs or breasts into the marinade, ensuring they’re well-coated. Cover and let marinade in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 8 hours.
- Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat for a good sear.
- Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and cayenne pepper.
- Roast the Sweet Potatoes: Spread in a single layer and roast for about 25-30 minutes, or until tender and golden.
- Grill the Chicken: Grill the marinated chicken for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- Assemble the Bowl: Start with a base of quinoa or brown rice, add mixed greens, sweet potatoes, and sliced chicken. Top with avocado, crumbled cheese, and pumpkin seeds.
- Prepare the Tahini Drizzle: Mix tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, ice water, and salt until smooth, drizzling over the assembled bowl.
Notes
Marinate chicken overnight for enhanced flavor. Customize with vegetables or grains of choice.
