Ingredients
- 1 medium sweet potato, peeled and cubed
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 bunch kale, stems removed and chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup cooked rice (white or brown)

Instructions
- Preheat oven and prep ingredients: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Season ingredients: In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato, chicken, and kale with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Roast: Spread the seasoned ingredients in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 30-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through, the sweet potatoes are tender, and the kale is crispy.
- Assemble bowls: Divide the cooked rice between two bowls. Top with the roasted sweet potato, chicken, and kale.
- Add sauce and serve: Drizzle with your favorite sauce, if desired, and serve immediately.
Notes
- Sweet Potato: You can use other root vegetables, such as butternut squash or carrots, instead of sweet potato.
- Chicken: You can use boneless, skinless chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts.
- Kale: You can use other leafy greens, such as spinach or collard greens, instead of kale.
- Rice: You can use any type of cooked rice, such as white rice, brown rice, or quinoa.
- Sauce: Get creative with your sauce! You can use a store-bought sauce or make your own. Some ideas include tahini dressing, lemon vinaigrette, sriracha mayo, or a simple honey-mustard dressing.
- Meal Prep: These bowls are great for meal prep. You can roast the ingredients ahead of time and assemble the bowls when you're ready to eat.
