Method
 

Instructions
  1. Cook the rice according to package instructions. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
  2. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika, and a pinch of garlic powder. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20–25 minutes until tender and lightly caramelized.
  3. Season chicken breasts with garlic powder, paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Cook in a heated skillet over medium heat for 5–7 minutes per side until fully cooked (internal temperature 165°F). Let rest, then slice.
  4. In a small bowl, mix Greek yogurt, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, and salt until smooth to make the sauce.
  5. Assemble bowls by dividing rice evenly, topping with sliced chicken and roasted sweet potatoes, and drizzling with the creamy yogurt sauce. Serve immediately or store for meal prep.

Notes

Store sauce separately for best meal prep results. Chicken thighs may be substituted for juicier texture. Brown rice or quinoa can replace white rice if preferred.
