This bowl is one of my favorite ways to pull together a nutritious dinner using simple pantry staples. The combination of roasted sweet potatoes and juicy chicken creates a hearty base that keeps everyone coming back for seconds.

I love adding apples and almonds because they bring a crunch that makes every bite interesting. It is a fantastic option for meal prep, as it tastes just as good the next day for lunch.

Ingredients

  • 2 large chicken breasts, cut into bite sized pieces
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1 cup white or brown rice, cooked
  • 1 crisp apple, diced
  • 1/4 cup sliced almonds
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

  2. 2

    Place the cubed sweet potatoes on a baking sheet, drizzle with one tablespoon of olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.

  3. 3

    Roast the sweet potatoes for about 20 minutes until they are tender and starting to brown.

  4. 4

    While the potatoes roast, heat the remaining oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

  5. 5

    Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and season with thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.

  6. 6

    To serve, divide the cooked rice into bowls, then top with the roasted sweet potatoes, cooked chicken, fresh diced apple, and a sprinkle of sliced almonds.

💡 Tips

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. If you want a little extra flavor, add a drizzle of honey or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice right before serving.
