Ingredients
For the Chicken Thighs (Serves 2):
- 1 lb chicken thighs bone-in or boneless, skin-on optional
- 1 teaspoon garlic pepper or ½ teaspoon garlic powder + ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
For the Parsley Dipping Sauce:
- 1 bunch parsley about 1 cup packed
- 1 garlic clove
- Juice of 1 lemon about 2–3 tbsp
- ¼ cup water add more if you want it thinner
- 2 tablespoon avocado oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Salad Base:
- 4 cups spring mix or greens of choice
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup
- Salt and pepper to taste
Toppings:
- 1 medium sweet potato peeled and cubed
- 2 teaspoon avocado oil for roasting sweet potato
- Drizzle of hot honey about 1–2 teaspoon per bowl
- 1 Chopped Mini cucumber
Instructions
- Pat chicken dry and season with garlic pepper, salt, oregano, and onion powder. Rub seasoning evenly over each piece.
- Place chicken in the air fryer at 380°F for 10 minutes. Flip and cook for another 10 minutes until golden and cooked through (internal temp should be 165°F).
- Make the Parsley Sauce: Add parsley, garlic, lemon juice, avocado oil, water, salt, and pepper to a blender (I used a Vitamix). Blend until smooth and creamy. Add more water for a thinner consistency if needed.
- Prepare the Salad Base: In a large bowl, toss spring mix with apple cider vinegar, olive oil, maple syrup, salt, and pepper. Mix well and taste to adjust.
- Cook the Sweet Potato: Toss sweet potato cubes with 2 teaspoon avocado oil and a pinch of salt. Air fry at 400°F for 12–15 minutes or roast in the oven until tender and golden.
- Build Your Bowl: Start with the salad and sweet potato. Top with crispy chicken thighs, spoon over parsley dipping sauce, and finish with a generous drizzle of hot honey.
