  • by

Step 1: Roast the Sweet Potatoes

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

In a bowl, toss the diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

Spread them evenly on a baking sheet.

Roast for 25–30 minutes, turning halfway through, until tender and lightly caramelized.

Step 2: Cook the Chicken

Combine the chicken cubes with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Cook the chicken for 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and fully cooked.

Step 3: Prepare the Garlic Sauce

In a small bowl, whisk together:

  • Greek yogurt
  • Minced garlic
  • Lemon juice
  • Olive oil
  • Fresh parsley
  • Salt
  • Black pepper

Add a little milk if you prefer a thinner, drizzleable sauce.

Step 4: Assemble the Bowls

Divide the cooked brown rice among four serving bowls.

Arrange the roasted sweet potatoes, cooked chicken, and kale or spinach around the rice.

Drizzle generously with the creamy garlic sauce.

Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
