Serves: 8
INGREDIENTS:
  • Chicken Marinade
  • 8 chicken breasts
  • ¼ cup cold-pressed olive oil
  • ¼ cup freshly squeezed lime juice (from approximately 2 limes)
  • ¼ cilantro
  • 4 garlic cloves, sliced in half
  • 1 tablespoon lime zest (from approximately 2 limes)
  • 1 tablespoon raw honey
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • Salsa
  • 4 cups strawberries, diced
  • 4 small avocados, diced (or 3 large)
  • 1 mango, peeled and diced
  • ½ cup red onion, chopped finely
  • ½ jalapeño, minced (seeds removed for less heat)
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest
  • 1 lime worth of freshly squeezed juice
  • 1 dash of sea salt, or to taste
  • Yams
  • 8 cups yams (around 3 very large), diced
  • 3 egg whites
  • 2 tablespoons cold-pressed olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon herbs de provence
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • On the Side
  • 4 cups green beans
  • 4 cups arugula
DIRECTIONS:
  1. Mix the marinade ingredients together in a large plastic bag, add in the chicken and marinate for 8-24 hours (ideally 24), flipping the bag over every so often, when available. Preheat oven to 400°. Lay the yams out on a parchment lined baking sheet. Whisk together the egg whites, oil and spices until the mixture becomes frothy. Pour over the yams and toss until they are all evenly coated. Bake for 40 minutes, stirring halfway through. Assemble all the salsa ingredients together in a large bowl and stir to combine. At the 20 minute mark (of the yams baking), start boiling the water in a double broiler for the green beans and turn on the BBQ to medium high heat. At the 30 minute mark put the chicken on the grill. At the 35 minute mark place the beans in the double broiler and flip the chicken. At the 40 minute mark remove the chicken from the grill (cut the thickest one down the middle to make sure there is no pink left, if so leave on for 2-3 more minutes until cooked through), the yams from the oven and the beans from the stove. Plate the chicken over ½ cup of arugula, topped with the salsa and with the yams and beans on the side.
