Super Chicken Bowl


This bowl is a healthy and delicious recipe, inspired by a recent dinner failure. Sometimes, when a recipe goes sideways, the best thing to do is to reinvent it and try again! So it is with the Super Chicken Bowl. Featuring classically prepared chicken, a bright avocado salad, spicy sweet potatoes, and a fresh avocado crema, this recipe is designed to deliver healthy and nutritious food in an envelope of delicious flavor. I hope you enjoy it.

Ingredients

Chicken
  • 2 chicken breasts, sliced into strips
  • 1 tbsp. olive oil
  • Kosher salt and fresh-cracked black pepper
Spicy Sweet Potatoes
  • 2 sweet potatoes, cut into wedges
  • 1 tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1 tbsp. chipotle chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
  • 1 tsp. Sriracha
Avocado Salsa
  • 1 fresh avocado, diced
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 red onion, diced finely
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • Juice of 1 fresh lime
  • 1 tsp. rice wine vinegar
Avocado Crema
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 avocado
  • 1 clove garlic
  • Zest and juice of 1 lime
  • Kosher salt

Process

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  2. While the oven preheats, season the chicken strips liberally with salt and fresh-cracked black pepper. Set aside while you work on the next steps.
  3. Toss the sweet potato wedges, salt, chipotle chili powder, cayenne pepper, sriracha, and olive oil in a large metal bowl. Arrange the sweet potato wedges on a baking sheet and bake at 400 degrees for 25-30 minutes while you work on the salsa and crema.
  4. Make the avocado salsa: mix the avocado, tomatoes, chopped onions, cilantro, lime juice, and rice wine vinegar. Set aside.
  5. Make the avocado crema: blend the sour cream, avocado, garlic, lime zest and juice, and salt in a food processor or blender until smooth and creamy.
  6. Cook the chicken: preheat a skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken to the skillet and cook until golden brown.
  7. Prepare the bowls: arrange the chicken strips, salsa, sweet potato wedges, and crema artfully in a bowl. Serve immediately with extra crema on the side. Season as desired with hot sauce, etc.
  8. Enjoy!
