Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb chicken breasts Cubed
  • 2 large sweet potatoes Peeled and cubed
  • 3 cups cooked jasmine rice White or brown
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil Divided
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt Plain
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise For creaminess
  • 1 clove garlic Grated
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice Fresh
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika Seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder Seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley Chopped

Equipment

  • 1 Baking Sheet Large
  • 1 Skillet Large
  • 1 Whisk Small
  • 1 Chef's knife For chopping

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  2. Roast potatoes for 20–25 minutes until tender and crispy.
  3. Season chicken cubes and sear in a skillet for 6–8 minutes until cooked through.
  4. Whisk yogurt, mayo, garlic, lemon, and herbs with a little water to make the sauce.
  5. Assemble bowls with rice, potatoes, chicken, and drizzle with white sauce.

Notes

Cut the sweet potatoes into small, even cubes so they roast quickly and get crispy edges. Don't crowd the chicken in the pan to ensure a good sear.
