Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb chicken breast, diced and seasoned with salt and pepper
  • 2 cups sweet potatoes, diced
  • 2 cups cooked brown rice
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Tahini Drizzle

  • 2 tbsp tahini
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp water

Instructions

  1. Prepare and Roast Sweet Potatoes: Toss diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated. Spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized.
  2. Cook the Chicken: While the sweet potatoes are roasting, heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced chicken breast seasoned with salt and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned on all sides and cooked through with no pink inside.
  3. Make the Tahini Drizzle: In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, and water until smooth and creamy. Adjust the consistency by adding more water if necessary.
  4. Assemble the Bowls: Divide the cooked brown rice evenly among serving bowls. Top with the roasted sweet potatoes and cooked chicken. Drizzle the tahini sauce over the top just before serving to add a creamy, tangy finish.

Notes

  • You can substitute chicken breast with turkey breast or tofu for a different protein option.
  • For added greens, consider serving with steamed spinach or kale on the side.
  • Roast the sweet potatoes in a single layer to ensure even cooking and browning.
  • The tahini drizzle can be prepared in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
