Ingredients

For the Sweet Potatoes & Chicken

4 cups sweet potatoes, cut into cubes 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cubed 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 teaspoon paprika 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1 teaspoon onion powder

For the Creamy Sriracha Sauce

1 cup Greek yogurt or mayonnaise 2 tablespoons lime juice 1 tablespoon sriracha 1 teaspoon ground cumin

For Serving

2 cups cooked rice (white or brown) 2 cups green vegetables (spinach, broccoli), steamed or sautéed 1/4 cup fresh herbs (cilantro, parsley), chopped

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C): In a large bowl, combine the sweet potato cubes with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss well to ensure every piece is coated. Spread them in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until they are tender and nicely caramelized.
Cook the chicken: While the sweet potatoes roast, season the chicken cubes with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/75°C).
Make the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, lime juice, sriracha, cumin, and a pinch of paprika. Mix until smooth and creamy. For a thinner sauce, add a splash of water; for more heat, add extra sriracha. Season with salt to taste.
Prepare the rice and vegetables: Cook your rice according to package instructions if you haven't already. In a separate pan, steam or sauté your chosen green vegetables (spinach or broccoli) until crisp-tender, about 4–5 minutes.
Assemble the bowls: Start with a scoop of cooked rice as the base. Top with roasted sweet potatoes, seared chicken, and the green vegetables. Generously drizzle the creamy spiced sauce over everything and finish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs. Serve warm and enjoy!
