Ingredients
Scale
2 pieces (about 1 lb total) of Chicken breast
2 medium-sized Sweet potatoes
1 cup uncooked Brown rice
2 tbsp Olive oil
2 cloves of Garlic, minced
2 cups Vegetable broth
2 cups Fresh spinach
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tsp Crushed red pepper (optional)
Instructions
Start by gathering all your ingredients. Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly and peel them before cutting them into small cubes. Chop the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces, and mince the garlic.
In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of brown rice with 2 cups of vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 30 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the cubed sweet potatoes and a pinch of salt. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally until they are fork-tender and slightly caramelized.
In the same skillet, push the sweet potatoes to one side and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the minced garlic and chicken pieces, cooking until the chicken is browned and cooked through, approximately 5-7 minutes.
To the skillet, add the cooked brown rice and fresh spinach. Stir everything together, allowing the spinach to wilt down and everything to heat up. Taste and season with salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper to your preference.
Plate your bowl by layering the mixture, and garnish with any additional toppings you like, such as avocado slices, nuts, or seeds. Enjoy your healthy chicken and sweet potato rice bowl while it's warm!
