Instructions

  1. Roast the Sweet Potatoes:

    • Add the diced chicken and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through.
  3. Prepare the Tahini Drizzle:
    • In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, and water until smooth. Add more water if needed to reach a drizzle consistency.
  4. Assemble the Bowls:
    • Divide the cooked brown rice among four bowls.
    • Top with roasted sweet potatoes and cooked chicken.
    • Drizzle with the tahini sauce and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in garlic, olive oil, and a splash of soy sauce before cooking.
  • Swap brown rice for quinoa or cauliflower rice for a low-carb option.
  • Add a handful of fresh greens like spinach or kale for an extra boost of vitamins.
