Roast Sweet Potato
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes.
Toss with a bit of olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, turning once, until tender and slightly crispy.
Cook Quinoa
While sweet potatoes are roasting:
Rinse 1/4 cup of quinoa under cold water.
In a saucepan, combine quinoa with 1/2 cup of water.
Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until water is absorbed.
Fluff with a fork and let it cool.
Grill Chicken
While potatoes and quinoa are cooking:
Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and your favorite spices.
Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until cooked through.
Let it rest for a few minutes, then slice.
Prepare Fresh Vegetables
