INSTRUCTIONS:

Prepare the Sweet Potato Fries:

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Toss sweet potato wedges with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet in a single layer and bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy.

Marinate the Chicken:

In a bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, oregano, smoked paprika, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Coat the chicken tenders and let marinate for 10 minutes.

Cook the Chicken:

Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken for 4-5 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and golden.

Make the Avocado Salsa:

In a bowl, combine diced avocado, cherry tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Gently toss and set aside.

Prepare the Garlic Yogurt Sauce:

Mix Greek yogurt, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.

Assemble the Bowl:
