๐ฉโ๐ณ Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425ยฐF (220ยฐC). Toss the sweet potato wedges with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking tray and roast for 35โ40 minutes, turning halfway, until caramelized and tender.
Whisk together the honey, soy sauce, garlic, lemon juice, parsley, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Coat the chicken and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 4โ5 minutes per side until golden, then reduce the heat and cook until the internal temperature reaches 165ยฐF (74ยฐC). Spoon the remaining glaze over the chicken during the final minutes. Rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Blend the avocado, Greek yogurt, lime juice, cilantro, garlic, water, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
In a bowl, gently combine the diced avocado, cherry tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, and lime juice.
Arrange the sliced chicken, roasted sweet potatoes, and avocado salad on a serving platter. Drizzle generously with the creamy avocado dressing and garnish with parsley.
๐ก Notes & Variations
Chicken thighs can be substituted for extra juiciness.
Add chili flakes or cayenne for a spicy glaze.
The avocado dressing also works as a dip or sandwich spread.
