Ingredients
– 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
– 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
– 1 cup uncooked rice
– 1 tbsp olive oil
– 1 tsp garlic powder
– 1 tsp onion powder
– 1 tsp paprika
– 1/2 tsp salt
– 1/4 tsp black pepper
– 2 cups chicken broth
– 1 cup chopped fresh spinach
– 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss the diced sweet potatoes with 1 tbsp olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, until tender and lightly browned.
2. In a large skillet, cook the chicken over medium-high heat until no longer pink, about 6-8 minutes. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add the rice and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
4. Fluff the rice with a fork and stir in the roasted sweet potatoes, cooked chicken, spinach, and parsley. Serve warm.
