Why You’ll Love This Loaded Grilled Chicken & Sweet Potato Power Bowl

This bowl is full of nutritional balance—lean grilled chicken offers the protein you need to recover or power through your day, while roasted sweet potatoes provide complex carbs and a subtle sweetness. Add in creamy avocado, a zingy yogurt dressing, crisp veggies, and some grains like quinoa or brown rice, and you’ve got a lunch or dinner that doesn’t leave you hungry two hours later.

It’s endlessly customizable and great for both family dinners and solo meal prep. Plus, it makes eating your colors feel like a treat.

Can I Use Rotisserie Chicken Instead?

Yes, definitely! While grilled chicken breasts bring smoky flavor and a lean protein profile, rotisserie chicken is a great shortcut when time is tight. Just shred it and warm it up if you like, or toss it in cold. You can even go bold and swap in grilled shrimp or tofu for a plant-based version.

How To Make the Loaded Grilled Chicken & Sweet Potato Power Bowl

Step 1: Prep and Roast the Sweet Potatoes

Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into bite-sized chunks. Toss them with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Roast in a preheated oven at 400°F for about 25 minutes or until tender and lightly caramelized.

Step 2: Grill the Chicken

Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and a little garlic powder. Grill over medium heat for 6 to 7 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Let rest before slicing.

Step 3: Cook Your Base Grain

While the sweet potatoes are roasting, cook your quinoa or brown rice according to the package instructions. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

Step 4: Prepare the Dressing

In a small bowl, stir together plain Greek yogurt and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. You can also add a pinch of salt and some garlic powder for extra flavor.

Step 5: Assemble Your Bowls

In each bowl, start with a scoop of grains, then layer on the mixed greens. Add sliced grilled chicken, roasted sweet potatoes, cherry tomatoes, avocado slices, and thinly sliced red onion. Drizzle with the yogurt dressing just before serving.

How to Serve and Store the Loaded Grilled Chicken & Sweet Potato Power Bowl

This bowl is perfect for meal prepping or serving fresh out of the kitchen. Each serving is a complete, balanced meal that feeds 4 hungry people generously. If you’re planning lunches for the week, divide the ingredients into containers and store the dressing separately to keep everything crisp. The sweet potatoes and chicken can be reheated, but the fresh veggies and greens are best added just before eating.

Leftovers will keep well in the fridge for up to 4 days, making it an ideal option for batch-cooking. You can also serve it cold as a hearty salad on hot days or enjoy it warm with a fresh drizzle of yogurt dressing.

What to Serve With the Bowl?

Hummus and Pita

Add a Mediterranean touch with a small side of hummus and warm pita bread for dipping.

Roasted Brussels Sprouts

Amp up the veggie content by roasting Brussels sprouts alongside your sweet potatoes.

Spiced Chickpeas

Crispy chickpeas with cumin and coriander add crunch and extra protein.

Cucumber Mint Salad

A cool, crisp salad with cucumber, mint, and a splash of vinegar is a refreshing match.

Corn on the Cob

Grilled or boiled corn brings sweetness and crunch that complements the savory bowl.

Baked Falafel

Toss a couple of baked falafel on top or on the side for even more texture and fiber.

Sliced Mango or Pineapple

A sweet fruit element on the side makes this bowl feel like a full, summery spread.
