  • 2 sweet potatoes cut into fry shaped match sticks
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • salt and pepper
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts or 6 thighs
  • 1-2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 4 cups romaine lettuce chopped
  • 1 cup mixed herbs basil, dill, parsley
  • 1/2 avocado sliced or chopped

  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise or Greek yogurt
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425° F.
  • On a baking sheet, toss the sweet potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Season with salt and black pepper. Bake for 10 minutes.
  • In a bowl, toss together 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil, the chicken, chili powder, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper.
  • Nestle the chicken around the potatoes and bake for 22-30 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through. Baking time will depend on the size and thickness of the chicken. Meanwhile, make the Avocado Caesar Dressing.
