Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1 tbsp olive oil (for roasting)
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 2 cups cooked brown rice or quinoa
- For the Avocado Yogurt Dip:
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- Salt to taste
- Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss sweet potato cubes with olive oil, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and tender.
- In a bowl, combine olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, cayenne, salt, and pepper. Coat the chicken breasts with the spice mix.
- Grill or pan-sear chicken over medium-high heat for 5–7 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- In a blender or food processor, combine avocado, Greek yogurt, lime juice, garlic, and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.
- Assemble bowls with a base of brown rice or quinoa, topped with sliced chicken, roasted sweet potatoes, and a dollop of avocado yogurt dip.
- Garnish with fresh herbs if desired, and serve warm.
Notes
- Swap brown rice with cauliflower rice for a low-carb option.
- The avocado yogurt dip also makes a great sandwich spread or veggie dip.
- Make it spicy by adding jalapeño to the avocado dip or increasing the cayenne in the chicken rub.
