INSTRUCTIONS

Caramelize the Sweet Potatoes

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F.
  2. Toss sweet potato chunks with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a sheet pan and roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway.
  3. Once tender and caramelized, lightly smash each piece with a spatula and return to the oven for another 5 minutes to crisp the edges.

Make the Chicken Tenders

  1. Toss chicken tenders in olive oil, salt, garlic powder, cumin, smoked paprika, and parsley.
  2. Air-fry the seasoned chicken at 375°F for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and cooked through (internal temp 165°F).
  3. While the chicken cooks, whisk together hot sauce, yogurt, and honey to make the buffalo sauce.
  4. Toss the hot, cooked chicken tenders in the buffalo sauce until well-coated.

Make the Slaw & Dressing

  1. Combine celery, carrots, shallots and green onion in a bowl.
  2. Drizzle with vinegar and olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss to combine. Chill until ready to serve.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, blue cheese, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.

Assemble the Bowls

  1. Spoon smashed sweet potatoes into each bowl.
  2. Top with buffalo chicken tenders.
  3. Add a generous scoop of celery slaw.
  4. Drizzle with optional blue cheese dressing or keep separate for meal prep.
