Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cooked brown rice
- 1 large sweet potato, diced
- 2 chicken breasts, grilled and sliced
- 1 cup broccoli, steamed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a bowl, toss the diced sweet potato with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Lay them out on a baking sheet, making sure they’re spread evenly for that perfect roast.
- Roast the sweet potatoes for 25-30 minutes, until they’re tender and slightly caramelized.
- While the sweet potatoes are roasting, take a skillet or grill and cook the chicken breasts until they are cooked through and have those beautiful grill marks. Once cooked, let them rest before slicing into juicy pieces.
- To add that vibrant green to your bowl, steam your broccoli until it’s bright green and tender, about 5-7 minutes.
- In a bowl, start layering: first, the cooked brown rice, then the roasted sweet potatoes, sliced grilled chicken, and finish with steamed broccoli. Garnish with fresh parsley.
- Serve warm and enjoy the delightful flavors!
