A vibrant and nutritious combination of roasted sweet potatoes, tender chicken, and wholesome rice, all topped with a creamy, zesty sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 0.5 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper (to taste)
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 0.5 tsp onion powder
  • 2 cups cooked white or brown rice
  • 0.5 cup Greek yogurt or mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tsp sriracha (or to taste)
  • 0.5 tsp cumin
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 1 cup steamed or sautéed green vegetables (e.g., spinach, broccoli)
  • Fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, toss the cubed sweet potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
  3. Spread the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway, until tender and caramelized.
  4. While the sweet potatoes are roasting, season the chicken cubes with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  5. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the seasoned chicken for 5-7 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  6. In another bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt (or mayonnaise), lime juice, sriracha, cumin, paprika, and optional cayenne until smooth. Add salt to taste.
  7. While the chicken cooks, prepare your rice and steam or sauté your green vegetables.
  8. To assemble the bowls, divide the cooked rice among serving bowls. Top with roasted sweet potatoes, pan-seared chicken, and the green vegetables.
  9. Drizzle generously with the creamy spiced sauce and garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley. Serve immediately.

Notes

For a twist, consider adding toppings like feta cheese or avocado slices. These bowls store well in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
