๐ก Tips & Variations:

- Veggie Boost: Stir in sautรฉed spinach, roasted cherry tomatoes, or asparagus for extra freshness.
๐ฑ Dietary Adjustments:

- Low-Carb? Skip the potatoes and serve with roasted zucchini or cauliflower.
โณ Time-Saving Hack:
- Prep the chicken marinade and avocado sauce ahead of time (store separately in the fridge).
- Use an air fryer for the potatoes (400ยฐF for 12โ15 mins, shaking halfway).
