Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the cubed sweet potatoes in a bowl with 1 tbsp olive oil, 0.5 tsp paprika, 0.25 tsp garlic powder, and a couple pinches of salt and pepper. Spread them out on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
While the sweet potatoes roast, season your chicken cubes with 0.5 tsp garlic powder, 0.5 tsp onion powder, and salt and pepper. Heat up 1 tbsp olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 5-7 minutes until golden brown.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together 0.5 cup Greek yogurt, 1 tbsp lime juice, 1 tsp sriracha, 0.5 tsp cumin, 0.25 tsp paprika, a pinch of cayenne, and salt to taste.
If you haven’t already prepped the rice, cook it according to package instructions and steam or sauté the green veggies.
Divide the cooked rice among bowls, top with the roasted sweet potatoes, pan-seared chicken, and green veggies. Drizzle with the spicy sauce and garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley. Serve immediately.
