Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups Sweet Potatoes (Peeled and cubed)
  • 2 cups Green Vegetables (Sautéed or steamed like broccoli or spinach)
  • 1 pound Chicken Breast (Cut into cubes)
  • 2 cups Rice (Brown rice preferred)
  • 1 cup Greek Yogurt (Sour cream can be used as an alternative)
  • 2 tablespoons Lime Juice (Can substitute with lemon juice)
  • 1 tablespoon Sriracha (Adjust based on spice preference)
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika (Smoked paprika for a smokier flavor)
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder (Fresh minced garlic for more flavor)
  • 1 teaspoon Salt (Adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon Pepper (Adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon Cumin
  • 1 bunch Fresh Herbs (Cilantro or Parsley) (Omit if cilantro is not preferred)
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil (Use extra virgin for better flavor)

Instructions

  1. Prep your sweet potatoes: Peel and cube your sweet potatoes into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Cook the rice: In a pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil and stir in the brown rice. Reduce the heat, cover, and let it simmer for about 30-35 minutes.
  3. Sauté the chicken: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the cubed chicken breast and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown.
  4. Cook your sweet potatoes: In another pot, steam or boil the sweet potatoes for about 10-15 minutes, or until fork-tender.
  5. Prepare your green vegetables: In the same skillet used for the chicken, sauté or steam your choice of green veggies until bright and tender, about 3-5 minutes.
  6. Assemble the bowls: Layer the rice at the bottom of each bowl. Top with sweet potatoes, sautéed chicken, and green vegetables.
  7. Add the creamy topping: Spoon a generous dollop of Greek yogurt on top. Finish with fresh herbs and a drizzle of lime juice and Sriracha.
