  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)
  • 2 cups cooked brown rice (or quinoa)
  • 1 cup broccoli florets (steamed)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

  2. Spread the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer.
  3. Roast in the preheated oven for about 20–25 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized, stirring halfway through.

Step 3: Cook the Chicken

  1. While the sweet potatoes are roasting, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the chicken pieces and season with salt and pepper.
  3. Cook for about 6–8 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center.

Step 4: Assemble the Rice Bowl

  1. In a large bowl or individual serving bowls, layer the cooked brown rice, roasted sweet potatoes, cooked chicken, and steamed broccoli.
  2. Top with sliced avocado and garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.
  3. Serve with lime wedges for a zesty finish.
