Instructions
Creating Chicken and Sweet Potato Bowls is simple with these easy-to-follow steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Prepare Sweet Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the diced sweet potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper.
3. Bake Sweet Potatoes: Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
4. Cook Chicken: While the sweet potatoes are baking, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and season with salt and pepper.
5. Sauté Chicken: Cook the chicken for about 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it is cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
6. Add Broccoli: Stir in the broccoli florets and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until they are tender but still crisp.
7. Combine Ingredients: Once the sweet potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and combine them with the cooked chicken and broccoli in the skillet. Gently mix to combine all the flavors.
8. Serve: Divide the mixture into bowls and top with sliced avocado and fresh cilantro, if desired.
