Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 1 lb chicken breast, diced and seasoned with salt and pepper

Vegetables & Grains

  • 2 cups sweet potatoes, diced
  • 2 cups cooked brown rice

Seasonings & Sauces

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tbsp tahini
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp water

Instructions

  1. Roast Sweet Potatoes: Toss diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated. Spread them out 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 Chicken: While the sweet potatoes roast, heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the diced chicken breast until browned and fully cooked through, about 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Prepare Tahini Drizzle: In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, and water until smooth and creamy. Adjust the consistency by adding more water if needed.
  4. Assemble Bowls: In serving bowls, layer the cooked brown rice, sautéed chicken, and roasted sweet potatoes. Drizzle generously with the tahini sauce before serving for added flavor and creaminess.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in a little garlic and herbs before cooking.
  • Sweet potatoes can be roasted ahead of time and reheated.
  • Use brown rice or substitute with quinoa for a different grain option.
  • The tahini sauce can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or lemon juice as desired.
