Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 chicken breast, sliced into tenders
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning or chopped fresh parsley
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • 1 medium sweet potato, peeled & cut into fries
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 avocado, diced
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 2 tbsp ranch or Greek yogurt-based herb sauce (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Prepare the fries: Toss sweet potato sticks with olive oil, smoked paprika, and a pinch of salt. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25–30 minutes until crisp and golden, flipping halfway.
  3. Cook the chicken: Season chicken tenders with garlic powder, Italian seasoning (or parsley), salt, and pepper. In a grill pan or skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high. Cook chicken for about 3–4 minutes per side until golden and juicy.
  4. Make the avocado salsa: In another bowl, combine diced avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, chopped red onion, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Gently toss to combine.
  5. Assemble the dish: On a plate, layer grilled chicken with crispy sweet potato fries and top with avocado salsa. Serve with ranch or herb sauce on the side if desired.

Notes

Feel free to substitute the chicken with boneless thighs or use different herbs in the seasoning based on your preference.
