  • Yield: 4 servings
  • Diet: Healthy

Description

A nutritious and balanced meal packed with protein from chicken, complex carbohydrates from sweet potatoes and rice, and bursting with flavor.


Ingredients

  • 2 Chicken breasts
  • 2 Sweet potatoes
  • 1 cup Rice
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
  • 2 cups Vegetable broth
  • Fresh herbs (optional)


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Dice the sweet potatoes and toss them with olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes until tender.
  3. Meanwhile, cook the rice according to package instructions, using vegetable broth instead of water for added flavor.
  4. Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and any additional spices of your choice. Grill or pan-cook the chicken over medium heat until fully cooked (about 6-7 minutes per side).
  5. Slice the cooked chicken and assemble the bowl by placing the rice at the base, topped with roasted sweet potatoes and sliced chicken.
  6. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired and serve.

Notes

Ensure sweet potatoes are cut into similar sizes for even cooking. Feel free to customize with other vegetables or proteins.
