# Ingredients:

→ Base components

01 - 1 large sweet potato, peeled and diced
02 - 1 tablespoon olive oil, divided
03 - Salt, to taste
04 - Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
05 - 1/2 teaspoon paprika
06 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
07 - 225 grams chicken breast, diced
08 - 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
09 - 1/4 teaspoon chili powder

→ Fresh toppings

10 - 1 cup fresh spinach or mixed salad greens
11 - 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
12 - 1/4 cup cucumber, diced
13 - 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced

→ Avocado dressing

14 - 1 ripe avocado, pitted and peeled
15 - 1 tablespoon Greek yogurt or plant-based alternative
16 - 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
17 - Salt, to taste
18 - Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
19 - Water, as needed to thin

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat oven to 200°C. On a lined baking sheet, toss diced sweet potato with half the olive oil, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Arrange in a single layer and roast for 20–25 minutes, turning once, until tender and caramelized.
02 - While sweet potatoes cook, heat the remaining olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the diced chicken with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, cumin, and chili powder. Sauté for 6–8 minutes until browned and fully cooked through.
03 - In a small food processor or blender, combine avocado, Greek yogurt, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth, adding water gradually to achieve a pourable consistency. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
04 - Divide fresh spinach or mixed salad greens into two wide bowls. Layer with roasted sweet potato, sautéed chicken, cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, and thinly sliced red onion for balanced color and texture.
05 - Drizzle generously with the avocado dressing and serve immediately for optimal freshness and flavor.

# Notes:

01 - For a dairy-free option, use a plant-based yogurt in the avocado dressing.
02 - Prepare and store components in separate airtight containers for meal prep lasting up to four days.
03 - Enhance the bowl by adding extra avocado, toasted pumpkin seeds, or a sprinkle of feta cheese as desired.
