Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Gather your sweet potatoes, olive oil, and seasonings.
  2. Dice the sweet potatoes into even cubes. Combine them with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes.
  3. While the sweet potatoes roast, heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the cubed chicken with salt and pepper, and cook in the skillet for 5-7 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk the Greek yogurt (or mayonnaise), lime juice, sriracha, cumin, and any extra spices. Adjust the heat to your taste.
  5. Prepare your fluffy rice according to package instructions, taking about 15-20 minutes. Keep warm.
  6. Assemble your bowls by starting with fluffy rice, then add pan-seared chicken, followed by roasted sweet potatoes.
  7. Drizzle the creamy sauce over the bowls and garnish with fresh herbs if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
