Ingredients
– 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon paprika

Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create your Chicken and Sweet Potato Bowls:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Prepare Sweet Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the diced sweet potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
3. Roast Sweet Potatoes: Spread the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until fork-tender and slightly caramelized, stirring halfway through.
4. Cook Chicken: While the sweet potatoes roast, season the chicken breasts with oregano, salt, and pepper. Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
5. Slice Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. Slice it into strips or cubes.
6. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the roasted sweet potatoes, cooked chicken, fresh spinach or kale, and cherry tomatoes. Toss gently to mix the ingredients.
7. Serve: Divide the mixture into bowls and top with crumbled feta cheese and fresh parsley for garnish.
