Grilled Chicken & Sweet Potato Bowl

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs Boneless, Skinless Chicken Thighs or Breasts: Thighs offer more flavor and moisture, while breasts are leaner. Trim any excess fat.
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil: Extra virgin for best flavor, helps with browning and prevents sticking.

  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt: Or to taste, enhances all flavors.
