Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, and herbs to create a zesty marinade. Place the chicken breasts in the marinade and cover. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Peel and cube the sweet potatoes, then toss them in olive oil, paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread them evenly on a baking sheet and bake for about 25-30 minutes until tender.
  3. Preheat your grill over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for 6-7 minutes on each side until cooked through. Allow to rest before slicing.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, garlic powder, and salt until smooth. Adjust consistency with water if needed.
  5. Assemble your bowl by layering cooked grains, roasted sweet potatoes, mixed greens, grilled chicken, and drizzle with tahini dressing.
