Smoky paleo chicken fajita bowls with roast sweet potato capsicum and avocado — **TooGut pick**Flexible, practical, genuinely delicious.

Fajita bowls are popular for a reason: spice, char, fresh crunch and a base that reheats well. Sweet potato keeps this one firmly paleo while giving the chicken pan juices somewhere useful to land.

One step at a time

Let’s cook.

Tick each step as you go. Built-in timers keep the important moments close.

Roast the sweet potato

Heat the oven to 220°C. Toss sweet potato with 1 tablespoon oil and salt. Roast for 22 to 25 minutes until browned at the edges.

Season the chicken

Toss chicken with paprika, cumin, garlic, half the lime juice, 1 tablespoon oil and salt.

Char, do not stew

Heat a wide pan over high heat. Cook chicken in two batches for 5 to 6 minutes until browned and cooked through. Rest on a plate.

Keep the vegetables loud

Add remaining oil, capsicum and onion to the same pan. Cook hard for 4 minutes so the edges char but retain bite.

Build the bowls

Divide sweet potato between bowls. Add chicken, vegetables and avocado. Finish with pan juices, remaining lime and coriander.
