Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Toss cubed sweet potatoes in a bowl with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well coated. Spread them in a single layer and roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and caramelized.
  2. While the sweet potatoes roast, season the cubed chicken breast with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil, and cook the seasoned chicken for 5-7 minutes until golden brown and fully cooked.
  3. In a small bowl, combine Greek yogurt (or mayonnaise), lime juice, sriracha, cumin, paprika, and optional cayenne pepper. Whisk until smooth and thick, then set aside.
  4. Prepare rice according to package instructions. Steam or sauté green vegetables until bright and slightly tender, about 3-5 minutes.
  5. Assemble the bowls by dividing cooked rice, layering roasted sweet potatoes, cooked chicken, and green vegetables. Drizzle with the creamy spiced sauce and garnish with cilantro or parsley. Serve immediately.
