Ingredients

Scale

2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 tbsp olive oil (for sweet potatoes)
0.5 tsp paprika
0.25 tsp garlic powder (for sweet potatoes)
Salt and black pepper, to taste (for sweet potatoes)
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 tbsp olive oil (for chicken)
0.5 tsp garlic powder (for chicken)
0.5 tsp onion powder
Salt and black pepper, to taste (for chicken)
2 cups cooked white or brown rice
0.5 cup Greek yogurt, plain, or mayonnaise
1 tbsp lime juice
1 tsp sriracha, or to taste
0.5 tsp cumin

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a bowl, toss diced sweet potatoes with 1 tbsp olive oil, 0.5 tsp paprika, 0.25 tsp garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Spread them evenly on one prepared baking sheet.
In another bowl, toss chicken cubes with 1 tbsp olive oil, 0.5 tsp garlic powder, 0.5 tsp onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Spread the seasoned chicken evenly on the second prepared baking sheet.
Roast the sweet potatoes for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway, until tender and lightly caramelized. Roast the chicken for 15-20 minutes, or until cooked through (internal temperature 165°F/74°C).
While chicken and sweet potatoes roast, prepare the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together 0.5 cup Greek yogurt (or mayonnaise), 1 tbsp lime juice, 1 tsp sriracha, 0.5 tsp cumin, and a pinch of salt and pepper until smooth.
Assemble the bowls: Divide the 2 cups of cooked rice among four serving bowls. Top each with equal portions of roasted chicken and sweet potatoes. Drizzle generously with the creamy dressing and serve immediately.
