A savory and nutritious bowl featuring tender chicken and sweet roasted sweet potatoes, perfect for quick weeknight dinners or meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
  • 3 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cups fresh spinach leaves
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for sauce)

Instructions

  1. Preheat an oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Combine the cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper in a large mixing bowl. Toss until well coated.
  3. Spread the sweet potatoes on a lined baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for about 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through, until tender and golden.
  4. Heat a large, non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced chicken, seasoned with salt and pepper.
  5. Cook the chicken for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally until browned and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  6. Whisk together Dijon mustard, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper to create the maple Dijon sauce.
  7. Add the cooked chicken back to the skillet and pour the sauce over. Stir to coat evenly and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  8. Divide the roasted sweet potatoes and cooked chicken among serving bowls. Top with fresh spinach leaves.
  9. Drizzle with any remaining maple Dijon sauce and garnish with chopped parsley if desired.

Notes

Serve warm and consider squeezing fresh lemon juice over the bowls for added flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
