Ingredients
- 4 ounces, cubed chicken breast
- 1/2 cup, diced 1/2-inch cubes sweet potato
- 1/4, sliced avocado
- 2 tablespoons coconut water
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss 1/2 cup diced sweet potato with 1 teaspoon avocado oil and 1/4 teaspoon sea salt, spreading in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Step 2: Roast sweet potatoes for 15 minutes until edges are caramelized and tender when pierced with a fork.
- Step 3: While potatoes roast, heat 1 teaspoon avocado oil in a skillet over medium-high. Add 4 ounces cubed chicken breast and cook for 5 minutes, turning occasionally, until internal temperature reaches 165°F and no pink remains.
- Step 4: Stir 2 tablespoons coconut water into the skillet with chicken, reducing until sauce thickens and coats the meat slightly, about 1 minute.
- Step 5: Transfer chicken to a plate, top with roasted sweet potatoes and 1/4 sliced avocado, ensuring each component delivers electrolytes for balanced energy.
