How to Make the Best Crispy Chicken and Roasted Sweet Potato Bowl
Step 1: Roast the Sweet Potatoes
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Toss the cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread them out on a baking sheet in an even layer (don’t overcrowd them, or they won’t crisp up).
Roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they’re tender on the inside and crispy on the edges. The natural sweetness of the potatoes caramelizes in the oven, making them absolutely irresistible!
Step 2: Cook the Crispy Chicken
While the sweet potatoes are roasting, season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and a little paprika. Spray a non-stick skillet with cooking spray and cook the chicken over medium heat for about 6-7 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing—it helps keep the juices in, so you get tender, juicy chicken in every bite!
Step 3: Steam the Broccoli
Steaming the broccoli florets keeps them bright green, tender, and full of nutrients. Just place them in a steaming basket over boiling water and steam for 5-7 minutes, until fork-tender. If you like a little crunch, keep them on the firmer side!
Step 4: Assemble Your Bowl
Now for the fun part—putting it all together! In a bowl, layer the roasted sweet potatoes, steamed broccoli, and sliced crispy chicken. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar for a rich, tangy finish and top it off with a dollop of creamy fat-free Greek yogurt.
Sprinkle some fresh parsley on top if you have it—it adds a pop of color and extra freshness!
This high protein chicken bowl is ideal for meal prep, healthy dinner ideas, and easy chicken breast dinners during the week.
