A warm and simple dish featuring roasted sweet potatoes, pan-cooked chicken, and rice, perfect for weeknight meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound chicken breast, diced
  • 2 sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 cup rice (brown or white)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Notes

For a saucier style, try adding a honey garlic sauce for extra flavor.
