This chicken and sweet potato salad recipe is one of my go-to dinner and lunch recipes at the moment. It's so quick and easy to make, is super nutritionally balanced, and tastes amazing!



Taste & Consistency


The chicken in this salad provides a great source of protein, and when paired with good seasoning, it has the potential to be the highlight of the salad. The rice provides volume to the salad, whilst the capsicum and cucumber provide a welcome 'crunch' whilst eating it. The sweet potato is soft and compliments the chicken perfectly.

Hot Tips & Conclusion


If you're vegetarian, you can simply replace the chicken with fried tofu; and if you're vegan, you can remove the feta and replace it with whatever you please.


It will take you about 30 minutes to make, and you can easily make it in bulk. This means that it's a great dish to meal prep for the week.
