    Wash and dry all produce. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Toss sweet potatoes on a baking sheet with half the dukkah, a large drizzle of olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Roast in oven until sweet potatoes are tender and dukkah is golden brown, ⏱️ 20 minutes , tossing halfway through.

    In a small bowl , mix sour cream, a pinch of lime zest, and a squeeze of lime juice. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in water to thin. TIP: Add a splash more water if crema still seems thick—it should have a drizzly, saucy consistency.

    Season chicken breasts all over with salt, pepper, and remaining dukkah.

    Heat a large drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken and sear until dukkah is lightly browned but not burnt, ⏱️ 3 minutes per side. Remove from pan and transfer to a baking sheet. Roast in oven until no longer pink, ⏱️ 5 minutes . Set aside to rest.

    While chicken roasts, heat another large drizzle of olive oil in same pan over medium heat. Add snap peas and toss until tender and lightly browned, ⏱️ 4 minutes . Season with salt and pepper.
