Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet.
Toss cubed sweet potatoes with 1 tbsp olive oil, 0.5 tsp paprika, 0.25 tsp garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread them out on the baking sheet.
Roast sweet potatoes for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping halfway until tender and caramelized.
Season chicken cubes with 0.5 tsp garlic powder, 0.5 tsp onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook for 5 to 7 minutes until golden and cooked through.
Whisk Greek yogurt or mayonnaise, lime juice, sriracha, cumin, paprika, and optional cayenne in a bowl. Season with salt until smooth.
Cook rice according to package directions and steam or sauté green vegetables while the chicken cooks.
Divide cooked rice among bowls. Top with roasted sweet potatoes, pan-seared chicken, and green vegetables.
Drizzle with creamy spiced sauce and garnish with fresh herbs. Serve immediately.
