Instructions

Prepare the Sweet Potato Fries
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss sweet potato fries with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
Marinate & Grill the Chicken
In a bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, oregano, salt, pepper, parsley, and lemon juice. Coat chicken tenders in marinade and let sit for 10 minutes. Grill on medium heat for 5–7 minutes per side until fully cooked and golden brown.
Make the Avocado Salsa
In a bowl, gently combine diced avocado, cherry tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper.
Prepare the Dipping Sauce
In a small bowl, mix Greek yogurt (or sour cream) with garlic powder, dill, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Chill until ready to serve.
Assemble & Serve
Plate grilled chicken with sweet potato fries and avocado salsa. Serve with dipping sauce on the side.

Notes

Swap chicken with grilled shrimp or tofu for variety.

Add cayenne or chili flakes for spice.

Make it vegan with plant-based yogurt.

Toss corn or black beans into the salsa for texture.

Air fry sweet potato fries to save time.

Store components separately; salsa is best fresh but lasts 1 day with lime juice.
