Ingredients
2 large chicken breasts, cubed
2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 cups cooked brown rice
2 cups chopped kale or spinach
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
½ tsp chili powder
Salt and black pepper, to taste
½ cup plain Greek yogurt (or tahini for dairy-free)
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss sweet potatoes with olive oil, paprika, salt, and pepper. Roast for 25–30 minutes.
2. Season chicken with garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, salt, pepper, and olive oil.
3. Heat a skillet and cook chicken until golden and cooked through, about 6–8 minutes.

5. Assemble bowls with rice, greens, roasted sweet potatoes, chicken, and drizzle with sauce. Garnish with parsley.
Notes
Marinate chicken 30 minutes for extra flavor. Substitute quinoa for rice or tofu for chicken to make it vegan. Store sauce separately for best meal prep results.
