Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss cubed sweet potatoes with 1 tbsp olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet.
Roast sweet potatoes for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway, until tender and caramelized at the edges.
Meanwhile, season chicken cubes with 0.5 tsp garlic powder, 0.5 tsp onion powder, salt, and pepper. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Cook chicken for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and cooked through. Remove from heat and rest briefly.
Whisk Greek yogurt (or mayonnaise), lime juice, sriracha, cumin, paprika, and optional cayenne until smooth. Season with salt to taste.
Cook rice and steam or sauté green vegetables while the chicken cooks and the sweet potatoes roast.
Divide cooked rice among bowls. Top each bowl with roasted sweet potatoes, pan-seared chicken, and green vegetables.
Drizzle with the creamy spiced sauce, garnish with chopped cilantro or parsley, and serve immediately.

Notes

Cut sweet potatoes into uniform cubes. Avoid overcrowding the pan while roasting for even caramelization. Rest chicken after cooking for tender meat.
