Kev Tip Let the chicken sit a few minutes before slicing so it stays juicy, and roast the sweet potatoes spread out so they actually caramelize.

Make It Fit Your Macros Lower calories: use less dressing or halve the sweet potatoes.
Higher carbs: add rice or extra sweet potato.
Higher protein: bump the chicken portion and keep everything else the same.

Storage / Meal Prep Store chicken, potatoes, slaw, and dressing separately. Best meal-prepped for 3–4 days.
