22 - 1/2 cup roasted vegetables like garlic cloves and red onion

# How to Make It:

01 - In a bowl, mix olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Rub the mixture over chicken and let marinate for at least 30 minutes.
02 - Mix parsley, minced garlic, red wine vinegar, oregano, chili flakes (if using), salt, black pepper, and olive oil in a bowl. Set aside.
03 - Stir mayonnaise or Greek yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil together in a bowl. Season with salt to taste.
04 - Grill the marinated chicken over medium-high heat for 5–7 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Let rest for a few minutes before slicing.
05 - Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add chopped kale and lemon juice, and sauté until wilted.
06 - Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Roast garlic cloves and red onion for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
07 - In a bowl, layer the sautéed greens as the base. Top with sliced grilled chicken, roasted vegetables, and diced cherry tomatoes. Drizzle chimichurri over the chicken and finish with garlic sauce.

# Additional Notes:

01 - Letting the chicken rest after grilling ensures the juices redistribute evenly.
