This is one of my favorite dinners to make when I want something quick and easy! This Roasted Sweet Potato Salad has become a staple dinner for me because it is simple to make but has so much flavor.

I love how this salad is fresh and light, but is also filling because it is filled with fiber, protein and healthy fats. The sweet potato and apple both contain a lot of fiber, which keeps you satisfied and gives you energy. The chicken adds a serving of protein, and you get healthy fats from the olive oil, walnuts and crumbled goat cheese.

Also, if you prep the chicken and roasted sweet potato ahead of time, this salad is also perfect for lunch! Just slice the apple and red onion, add to a bowl with a big handful of spinach, and top with precooked chicken, sweet potatoes, cranberries, walnuts and goat cheese.

Enjoy!

Make the sweet potatoes

Wash sweet potatoes and slice into 1/2 inch cubes, then add to an air fryer and spray with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
Air fry at 375F for 20-25 minutes until golden brown on the outside and soft on the inside.

Butterfly chicken breast by slicing lengthwise. Place in a bowl and add olive oil, lemon juice, salt, garlic powder and dried parsley. Toss evenly to coat.
Heat a skillet or grill over medium heat and cook for 7-8 minutes per side until cooked through. If you have an air fryer, air fry at 375F for 7 minutes per side.
