Ingredients
2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
Salt and pepper to taste
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1 bunch of kale, stemmed and chopped
2 cups cooked brown rice (or rice of your choice)
1/4 cup tahini
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 clove garlic, minced
2 -3 tablespoons water (to thin as needed)
Salt to taste
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Place the cubed sweet potatoes on a baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized, stirring halfway through.
- Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- In a large skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through and no longer pink inside. Let rest for a few minutes before slicing.
- In the same skillet, add the chopped kale. Sauté over medium heat with a little salt until just wilted, about 3-4 minutes.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, and water. Adjust the water to reach your desired dressing consistency. Season with salt to taste.
- In each bowl, layer the cooked brown rice as the base.
- Top with roasted sweet potatoes, slices of chicken, and sautéed kale.
- Drizzle the tahini dressing over everything.
- Serve immediately while the ingredients are warm, or pack into meal prep containers for an easy lunch.
