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
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- 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.
- Meanwhile, cook the rice according to package instructions, using vegetable broth instead of water for added flavor.

- Slice the cooked chicken and assemble the bowl by placing the rice at the base, topped with roasted sweet potatoes and sliced chicken.
- 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.
