Sweet Potato & Chicken Thigh Power Meal

Ingredients (1 serving):

• 250 g sweet potato

• 250 g raw chicken thigh — boneless and skinless

• Salt or seasoning of choice

• Tomato (or vegetables of choice)

Preparation:
Wash the sweet potato thoroughly and cook it with the skin on in an air fryer for 50–60 minutes at 200°C (depending on size). Once baked, let it cool for 20–30 minutes, then peel.

Season the raw, boneless, skinless chicken thigh with salt and spices, let it rest in the fridge for 30 minutes to absorb the flavor, then cook in the air fryer for 17–19 minutes at 200°C.

If using a conventional oven, bake the sweet potato for about 1 hour and 20 minutes at 200°C, and the chicken thigh for approximately 40 minutes.

Serve with a fresh salad of your choice.

For a higher-calorie, protein-supportive option, add 25 g of tahini.

Why this recipe works:
This meal uses simple, whole ingredients and is perfect for meal prep — it tastes great even when cold or reheated. Sweet potato provides complex carbohydrates that deliver steady energy without sharp blood sugar spikes. It’s rich in fiber for long-lasting satiety and packed with potassium and beta-carotene. Chicken thigh delivers high-quality protein along with iron, zinc, B-vitamins, and natural fats that support recovery, sustained energy, and overall performance.
