Ingredients
  

Chicken and Marinade
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Roasted Sweet Potatoes
  • 2 large sweet potatoes peeled and cubed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
Bowls
  • 4 cups mixed greens
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese crumbled
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

Method
 

Marinate the Chicken
  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, maple syrup, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
  2. Add the chicken breasts to the bowl and coat them well with the marinade. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Prepare Sweet Potatoes
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. On a baking sheet, toss the cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, paprika, and salt.
  3. Spread them out in a single layer and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until tender and golden, stirring halfway through.
Cook the Chicken
  1. While the sweet potatoes are roasting, heat a grill pan over medium heat.
  2. Remove the chicken from the marinade and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Assemble the Bowls
  1. In each bowl, layer mixed greens, roasted sweet potatoes, sliced chicken, cherry tomatoes, and feta cheese.
  2. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar before serving.
