Begin by roasting the sweet potatoes—Preheat the oven to 375°F. Dice the sweet potato and season with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Place on a baking sheet and back for 35 minutes.
While the sweet potatoes are roasting, start grilling the chicken. Begin by seasoning the chicken tenders with salt, pepper, and thyme on each side. Grill each side for 5 minutes or until fully cooked. Next, prepare the salad. In a salad bowl, add spring mix, sliced strawberries, shredded carrots, avocado, goat cheese, and roasted sweet potatoes. Top with grilled chicken and homemade maple balsamic dressing. Toss and enjoy!
