Ingredients
  

chicken breast & sweet potatoes

  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp harissa paste
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • pinch of sea salt
  • 1-2 large sweet potatoes

Tahini sauce

  • 1/4 cup tahini
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1/8 tsp sea salt
  • 2-3 cold water *more as needed

For the bowls

  • 1 cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced (or use pickled red onions!)
  • 1/2 cup grape tomatoes, halved
  • hummus
  • microgreens (optional but SO nutrient dense!)

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl, toss chicken with all the spices, lemon, oil, honey and harissa. Lay out on the air fryer baking sheet or in basket. Peel & cube the sweet potatoes. Toss in a drizzle of olive oil, salt, & pepper. Add them along side the chicken
    Place in the air fryer and cook at 370-degrees for 10 minutes. Flip the chicken and cook for an additional 4-8 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160-degrees. For extra moist chicken, tent the chicken with foil and allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving. Alternatively, you can bake it or pan fry!
    The sweet potatoes should be baked through and crisp to your liking . If needed, you can fry them for a bit longer.
    Thinly slice the cucumbers and onions (I like to use a mandolin!). Chop the tomatoes.
    Tahini sauce: Simply blend everything in a blender. Taste & adjust as needed. Store in an air-tight container.
    Add a layer of hummus to the bottom of your bowl. You can add some rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice as well to bulk it up (but optional!). Top the base with sliced chicken, cucumber, tomatoes, and red onion.

Meal prep tips:
  • If okay eating them chilled, simply prepare the bowls and store in an air-tight container! Store dressing separate.
  • Store components separately if possible (I.E. store sauce in a container, store chopped veggies in a container, store chicken in it's own container, etc).
  • If you're going to want to heat other elements (chicken and grains if using) keep hummus and fresh veggies in a small container to add just before eating.
  • These bowls last 4 days in the refrigerator.
