Ingredients

Scale

2 cups cooked brown rice (or quinoa for a gluten-free swap)
2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, diced
1 tbsp olive oil (or avocado oil)
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp paprika (more if you love a smoky kick)
Salt and pepper to taste
2 cups spinach (fresh or frozen)
¼ cup chopped green onions (for garnish)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss sweet potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes until soft and golden.
While roasting, heat a skillet over medium. Add chicken, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 6-8 minutes until fully cooked.
Stir in spinach during the last 2 minutes of cooking to let it wilt.
Combine roasted sweet potatoes with the chicken and spinach. Serve over brown rice and top with chopped green onions for a fresh finish.

Notes

Microwaving sweet potatoes is a time-saver – just poke holes and cook 5-7 minutes. Store components separately for easy meal prep. For extra flavor, marinate chicken in lemon juice, soy sauce, and honey ahead of time.
