Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (divided)
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (or to taste)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1 large sweet potato, diced
  • 1 1/2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 zucchini or yellow squash, sliced
  • 1/2 red onion, sliced
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder (for veggies)
  • 2 cups cooked brown rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro or parsley
  • Optional: Greek yogurt or spicy tahini sauce for drizzling
  • Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. On the sheet pan, toss sweet potatoes, broccoli, bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion with 1 tbsp olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Roast for 25–30 minutes, tossing halfway through.
  3. While veggies roast, toss chicken with remaining 1 tbsp olive oil, paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, cayenne, salt, and pepper.
  4. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through. Squeeze lime juice over the top.
  5. Divide cooked rice or grain of choice among 4 bowls.
  6. Top each bowl with roasted vegetables, spicy chicken, avocado slices, and cilantro.
  7. Drizzle with Greek yogurt, tahini sauce, or desired dressing. Serve with lime wedges.

Notes

  • For a one-pan option, add seasoned chicken to the sheet pan in the last 15 minutes of vegetable roasting.
  • Adjust cayenne to control heat level or omit for a milder version.
  • For dairy-free bowls, skip the yogurt or use a plant-based alternative.
  • Make ahead and store components separately for meal prep.
