Instructions
- Toss cubed sweet potatoes with 1 tbsp olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 mins, 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. Cook chicken for 5-7 mins until golden and cooked through.
- Whisk Greek yogurt or mayonnaise, lime juice, sriracha, cumin, paprika, and optional cayenne. Season with salt until smooth.
- Cook rice and steam or sauté green vegetables if using.
- Divide cooked rice among bowls. Top with roasted sweet potatoes, pan-seared chicken, and green vegetables.
- Generously drizzle with creamy spiced sauce and garnish with fresh herbs. Serve immediately.
Notes
- To keep the sweet potatoes from getting mushy, roast until just fork-tender. Great for meal prep; store the components separately and reheat as needed.
