# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the diced sweet potatoes on a baking sheet, drizzle with 1/2 tbsp olive oil, and season with salt, pepper, and paprika. Toss to coat and spread in an even layer. Roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway, until tender and lightly browned.

While the sweet potatoes are roasting, heat the remaining 1/2 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the diced chicken with salt, pepper, garlic powder, cumin, and chili powder. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cooked through and lightly browned.
03 -
In a small blender or food processor, blend the avocado, Greek yogurt, lime juice, salt, and pepper until smooth. Add water as needed, a tablespoon at a time, to reach a drizzling consistency.
04 -
Divide the spinach or greens between two bowls. Top with roasted sweet potatoes, cooked chicken, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion.

Drizzle with the avocado dressing and serve immediately.
