Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss sweet potatoes with olive oil, paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet to roast for 20 minutes.
  2. In a skillet over medium-high heat, add oil and cook the seasoned chicken until browned and cooked through, about 6 to 8 minutes.
  3. Mix tahini, lemon juice, and water in a bowl until smooth. Adjust with water if too thick, adding one teaspoon at a time.
  4. Warm the cooked rice and layer it in bowls. Top with chicken and roasted sweet potatoes.
  5. Drizzle tahini sauce over the bowl and add lemon or pepper if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

  1. For a plant-based option, substitute chicken with tofu. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to four days.
