Directions
- Marinate Chicken: In a large mixing bowl, combine 80 grams of extra virgin olive oil, 20 grams of finely chopped fresh rosemary, 20 grams of minced garlic, 10 grams of sea salt, and 5 grams of black pepper. Add 800 grams of chicken breast. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat Grill: Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat (about 200°C or 392°F) for 10 minutes.
- Prepare Sweet Potatoes: Preheat oven to 200°C (392°F). On a baking sheet, toss 600 grams of cubed sweet potatoes with 20 grams of olive oil, a pinch of salt, and black pepper. Roast for 25 minutes, tossing halfway through for even cooking.
- Grill Chicken: Remove chicken from marinade and place on the grill. Grill for 6-7 minutes on each side or until internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F). Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- Prepare Yogurt Sauce: In a small bowl, mix 240 grams of Greek yogurt with 30 grams of fresh lemon juice. Stir until smooth.
- Assemble Bowl: In a serving bowl, place a generous amount of roasted sweet potatoes, sliced grilled chicken, and drizzle with the yogurt sauce. Garnish with microgreens.
- Serve: Serve immediately while warm, enjoying the vibrant colors and aromatic flavors.
Chef’s Notes
1. The marination process helps tenderize the chicken and infuse it with flavor. For a quicker option, use chicken thighs which are more forgiving in terms of moisture.
2. Substitute Greek yogurt with sour cream for a tangier flavor or use a dairy-free yogurt alternative for a vegan option.
3. If fresh rosemary is unavailable, dried rosemary can be used at a ratio of 1:3 (dried to fresh).
