Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Toss the diced sweet potatoes in olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast for about 25-30 minutes, or until tender.
  3. While the sweet potatoes are roasting, cook the rice according to package instructions.
  4. In a skillet, cook the chicken breast over medium heat until it's cooked through and no longer pink, about 6-7 minutes per side. Season with salt and pepper to your liking.
Assembly
  1. Slice the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces.
  2. To assemble, create a base with the rice, top with roasted sweet potatoes and sliced chicken.
  3. Add any optional toppings as desired—green onions, creamy avocado, or a drizzle of hot sauce.
  4. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

If you have leftovers, store chicken and sweet potatoes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently, ensuring the chicken reaches a safe temperature of 165°F.
