Instructions

Marinate the chicken by mixing olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and optional cayenne pepper. Spread on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Roast sweet potatoes for about 25-30 minutes until tender and crispy.
Grill marinated chicken on medium-high heat for 6-7 minutes per side until cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
Assemble your bowl starting with quinoa or brown rice as the base. Layer mixed greens, roasted sweet potatoes, sliced grilled chicken, avocado slices, and drizzle with tahini dressing.
