Ingredients

Scale

4 cups Sweet Potatoes, cubed
2 tablespoons Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Paprika
1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
1 pound Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breast, cubed
1 teaspoon Onion Powder
2 cups Cooked White or Brown Rice
1 cup Greek Yogurt or Mayonnaise
2 tablespoons Lime Juice
1 tablespoon Sriracha
1 teaspoon Cumin
2 cups Green Vegetables (Spinach, Broccoli), steamed or sautéed
1/4 cup Fresh Herbs (Cilantro, Parsley), chopped

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a mixing bowl, toss cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated. Spread the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway, until they are tender, caramelized, and golden brown.
Step 2: Season your boneless, skinless chicken breast cubes with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes or until golden and cooked through, with an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
Step 3: In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt (or mayonnaise), lime juice, sriracha, cumin, and paprika until smooth and creamy. Adjust the thickness and spiciness by adding a little water or more sriracha, and season with salt to taste.
Step 4: Prepare your cooked rice according to the package instructions. Steam or sauté your chosen green vegetables in a separate pan until crisp-tender, about 4-5 minutes.
Step 5: In serving bowls, start by dividing the cooked rice as the base. Top each bowl with a portion of roasted sweet potatoes, seared chicken, and green vegetables. Drizzle the creamy spiced sauce over the top and garnish with fresh herbs.
