Ingredients for Chicken and Sweet Potato Bowls for Two

2 small boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 8 oz each)
1 large sweet potato (about 12 oz), peeled and diced into ½-inch cubes
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon salt, divided
¼ teaspoon black pepper
¼ teaspoon cumin
1 cup baby spinach
½ red onion, thinly sliced
½ avocado, sliced
¼ cup Greek yogurt (for serving)
Lime wedges, for serving

Directions: Chicken and Sweet Potato Bowls for Two

Step 1: Prep and Season

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
In a large bowl, toss the diced sweet potato with ½ tablespoon olive oil, ¼ teaspoon salt, and half the smoked paprika. Spread evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
In the same bowl, coat the chicken breasts with the remaining olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper.

Step 2: Roast the Chicken and Sweet Potatoes

Place the seasoned chicken breasts on the baking sheet beside the sweet potatoes.
Roast in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the sweet potatoes are golden and fork-tender. Flip the sweet potatoes halfway through for even caramelization.

Step 3: Assemble the Bowls

Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes, then slice into strips.
In two large bowls, divide the baby spinach, roasted sweet potatoes, and red onion. Arrange sliced chicken and avocado on top.
Add a dollop of Greek yogurt and a squeeze of lime over each bowl. Serve warm and enjoy!
