How to Grill Chicken and Roast Sweet Potatoes for Maximum Flavor

For the best grilled chicken, marinate in your favorite spices, olive oil, and a squeeze of lemon juice for at least 20 minutes before grilling. A SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet, 9.5 Inch or an outdoor grill can both deliver appetizing grill marks and flavor.

Cube your sweet potatoes uniformly (that veggie chopper comes in clutch!) and toss with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, pepper, and a touch of smoked paprika. Spread on a parchment-lined baking sheet for even roasting, flipping once until crisp-tender with caramelized edges. If you have an air fryer, speed things up and achieve that unbeatable crisp using the COSORI Air Fryer 9-in-1, Compact & Large 6-Qt, Grey.

Toppings, Assembly, and How to Serve a Stunning Bowl

Layering is the key: Start with a hearty bed of fluffy greens, spoon over the roasted sweet potatoes, then add your sliced or shredded grilled chicken. Top with quick-pickled onions, avocado, cherry tomatoes, or feta cheese for brightness and richness. A simple drizzle of Greek yogurt-tahini dressing or lemon vinaigrette ties the flavors together.

Serve your bowls immediately or prep them in advance for grab-and-go lunches. The reusable salad containers make it easy to keep ingredients fresh and crisp.
