A quick and nutritious meal that combines roasted sweet potatoes and tender chicken over rice, perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound chicken breast
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes
  • 1 cup rice (brown or white)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Optional toppings: sliced avocado, fresh greens, nuts

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into small cubes. Toss them in a bowl with olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder until evenly coated.
  3. Spread the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for about 25-30 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
  4. Cook the rice according to package instructions while the sweet potatoes are roasting.
  5. Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until it’s fully cooked and juices run clear.
  6. Assemble your bowls by placing a scoop of rice at the bottom, topped with roasted sweet potatoes and sliced chicken on top.
  7. Customize your dish with optional toppings like avocado or greens, and dig in!

Notes

Store leftovers in airtight containers in the fridge for up to three days. For longer storage, freeze assembled bowls without fresh toppings.
