Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large bowl, toss cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated. Spread the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are tender and caramelized with a golden hue.
  2. While the sweet potatoes roast, season the chicken breast cubes with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken, cooking for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
  3. Prepare your choice of rice according to the package instructions. Typically, this takes about 15-20 minutes. Once cooked, fluff the rice with a fork and set it aside, keeping it warm until you assemble your Healthy Chicken & Sweet Potato Bowls.
  4. In a mixing bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, lime juice, sriracha, cumin, paprika, and cayenne pepper (if using) until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
  5. To assemble, start by adding a generous portion of cooked rice to each bowl. Top with roasted sweet potatoes, perfectly cooked chicken, and optional green vegetables. Drizzle the creamy spiced sauce generously over the contents, and finish by garnishing with fresh cilantro or parsley.
