Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Chicken and Sweet Potato Bowls
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting sweet potatoes.
  2. Peel and cube the sweet potatoes, then toss with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  3. Season cubed chicken with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil, then sauté chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt or mayonnaise, lime juice, sriracha, cumin, paprika, and cayenne pepper until smooth. Add salt to taste.
  5. Prepare rice according to package instructions. Fluff with a fork when ready.
  6. Steam or sauté green vegetables until bright and tender, about 2-3 minutes.
  7. Assemble the bowls starting with rice, then adding roasted sweet potatoes, sautéed chicken, and greens. Drizzle with creamy sauce and garnish with cilantro or parsley.
