Ingredients
Scale
1 lb chicken breast, diced and seasoned with salt and pepper
2 cups sweet potatoes, diced
2 cups cooked brown rice
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp paprika
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 tbsp tahini
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp water
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a bowl, toss diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes or until tender and lightly browned.
While the sweet potatoes roast, cook the diced chicken breast in a skillet over medium heat until browned and fully cooked through. Season with additional salt and pepper as needed.
In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, and water until smooth to make the drizzle.
To assemble, layer brown rice in serving bowls, then top with roasted sweet potatoes and cooked chicken. Drizzle with tahini sauce before serving.
Notes
Use pre-cooked rice to save time during prep.
You can swap sweet potatoes for regular potatoes or roasted carrots.
Add greens like spinach or kale for extra nutrients.
The tahini drizzle can be doubled if you want a creamier bowl.
This meal is great for meal prep and holds well in the fridge for up to 3 days.
