Description

A hearty and flavorful sweet potato and chicken bowl topped with a creamy sauce and fresh herbs.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups Cubed Sweet Potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 pound Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breast
  • 2 cups Cooked White or Brown Rice
  • 1/2 cup Greek Yogurt or Mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons Lime Juice
  • 1 tablespoon Sriracha
  • 1 teaspoon Cumin
  • 2 cups Green Vegetables
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Herbs (Chopped)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) for roasting the sweet potatoes.
  2. Toss cubed sweet potatoes in a bowl with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Roast for 20-25 minutes until tender and caramelized, flipping halfway.
  3. Sprinkle chicken cubes with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. In a skillet with olive oil over medium-high heat, cook chicken for 5-7 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt or mayonnaise, lime juice, sriracha, cumin, paprika, and optional cayenne pepper. Adjust seasoning with salt to taste.
  5. Prepare your choice of rice according to package instructions. Steam or sauté green vegetables until bright and tender.
  6. Divide rice into bowls and top with roasted sweet potatoes, cooked chicken, and green vegetables. Drizzle creamy sauce on top and garnish with fresh herbs.
