Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 0.5 tsp paprika
- 0.25 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp onion powder
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 2 cups cooked white or brown rice
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt (plain, or mayonnaise)
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 1 tsp sriracha (or to taste)
- 0.5 tsp cumin
- 0.25 tsp paprika
- Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)
- Salt, to taste
- 1 cup steamed or sautéed green vegetables (e.g., spinach, broccoli, chopped cucumber)
- Fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Toss cubed sweet potatoes with 1 tbsp olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Roast at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway, until tender and caramelized.
- Season chicken cubes with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook chicken for 5-7 minutes until golden and cooked through.
- Whisk Greek yogurt or mayonnaise with lime juice, sriracha, cumin, paprika, and optional cayenne. Season with salt until smooth and of a thick gooey consistency.
- Cook rice according to package directions and steam or sauté green vegetables until just tender.
- Divide cooked rice among bowls and top with roasted sweet potatoes, pan-seared chicken, and green vegetables.
- Generously drizzle each bowl with the creamy spiced sauce, garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley, and serve immediately.
Notes
Choose sweet potatoes of similar size for even roasting. Don’t overcrowd the sheet pan for best browning. Adjust the heat level of sriracha and cayenne as desired.
