Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a small bowl, combine salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, thyme, rosemary, and olive oil to create the seasoning mix.
Cut the chicken breasts into bite sized pieces and thread them onto wooden or metal skewers, alternating with sweet potato wedges.
Brush the skewers with the seasoning mix on all sides, ensuring even coverage.
Place the skewers on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20 25 minutes, turning halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the sweet potatoes are tender.
In a large bowl, combine shredded cabbage mix, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, black pepper, celery seeds, and chopped fresh parsley to make the creamy coleslaw. Toss well to combine.
Serve the grilled chicken and herb roasted sweet potato skewers alongside the creamy coleslaw for a satisfying Paleo lunch.
Chef’s Insight
Use wooden skewers for an eco-friendly option or metal skewers for easier handling and durability. - To infuse more herbal flavors into the sweet potatoes, try using fresh herbs instead of dried ones in the seasoning mix.
Notes
Ensure that the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for food safety. - You can adjust the seasoning mix to your preferred taste, adding more spices or herbs as desired.
