02 - 1 tablespoon olive oil, divided
03 - Salt, to taste
04 - Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
05 - 1/2 teaspoon paprika
06 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
07 - 225 grams chicken breast, diced
08 - 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
09 - 1/4 teaspoon chili powder

→ Fresh toppings

10 - 1 cup fresh spinach or mixed salad greens
11 - 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
12 - 1/4 cup cucumber, diced
13 - 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced

→ For the avocado dressing

14 - 1 ripe avocado, pitted and peeled
15 - 1 tablespoon Greek yogurt or dairy-free alternative
16 - 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
17 - Salt, to taste
18 - Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
19 - Water, as needed to thin

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat oven to 200°C. On a lined baking sheet, toss diced sweet potato with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Spread in a single layer and roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping midway, until tender and golden.
02 - Meanwhile, heat remaining 1/2 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season diced chicken with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, cumin, and chili powder. Sauté for 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thoroughly cooked and lightly browned.
03 - In a small blender or food processor, combine avocado, Greek yogurt, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth, adding water gradually for a pourable consistency.
04 - Divide spinach or mixed greens between two bowls. Arrange roasted sweet potato, cooked chicken, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion on top.
05 - Drizzle bowls with avocado dressing and serve promptly.

# Notes:

01 - For a dairy-free bowl, substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based alternative in the dressing.
02 - Prepare all elements in advance and store separately for quick, nutrient-dense meals throughout the week.
03 - Enhance flavour and texture by adding sliced avocado, toasted pumpkin seeds, or a sprinkle of feta cheese if desired.
