For the Sweet Potatoes
- 2 Sweet Potatoes

- 2 tbsp Lime Juice
- 1/4 cup Fresh Cilantro, chopped
- Salt to taste

Instructions
- Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into small cubes, then toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them out on a baking sheet and roast for about 25-30 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
- Marinate the Chicken: While the sweet potatoes are roasting, prepare the chicken. In a bowl, mix olive oil, cumin, paprika, chili powder, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Add the chicken breasts and let them marinate for at least 15 minutes to absorb all those zesty flavors.
- Grill the Chicken: Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Once cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.
- Make the Guacamole: In a bowl, mash ripe avocados with lime juice, chopped cilantro, salt, and diced tomatoes. Mix until smooth but still chunky, adjusting the seasoning to your taste.
- Assemble Your Power Bowl: In a bowl, layer the roasted sweet potatoes, sliced chicken, and a generous scoop of guacamole. Top with additional cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice for that extra zing.
Notes
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure your chicken is cooked perfectly every time.
- Cut sweet potatoes into uniform sizes to ensure even roasting.
- Use the freshest avocados and vegetables for the best flavor.
- Feel free to add minced garlic or diced onions for an added flavor punch in your guacamole.
- Prepare ingredients in advance for quick assembly during busy weeknights.
