Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp Avocado Oil Opt for avocado oil for a high smoke point and rich flavor.
  • 1 medium Sweet Potato Peeled and cut into 1/2" pieces to ensure even cooking.
  • 8 oz Chicken Breast Cut into bite-sized pieces to maximize flavor absorption.
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder Adds depth of flavor to the chicken and sweet potatoes.
  • 1/2 tsp Onion Powder Enhances the savory notes in the dish.
  • 1/2 tsp Kosher Salt Essential for seasoning; use sea salt if preferred.

  • 2 cups Kale Leaves Rich in nutrients; massage before serving for tenderness.

  • 2 tbsp Mayonnaise Use quality mayo like Duke's or Hellman's to enrich the sauce's texture.
  • 1 tbsp Chipotle Sauce Provides smoky heat; chopped chipotle in adobo is also an option!
  • 1 tsp fresh Lemon Juice Adds brightness to the sauce; again, lime works well here too!
  • 1/2 tsp Agave Syrup Balances out spiciness with a touch of sweetness; honey is a good substitute too!
  • 1/2 tsp Kosher Salt For seasoning the sauce; taste before adding more if needed!
  • 2 cups cooked Brown Rice Use white rice if you prefer a lighter base for your bowls!

  • 1 medium Avocado Sliced or diced avocado provides richness and creaminess!
  • chopped Green Onions For garnish; adds freshness and color to finish off your bowls!

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 F degrees while mixing half of your seasoning blend in a small bowl to set aside later on. Toss diced sweet potatoes in half of your avocado oil along with half of your seasoning blend until evenly coated. Transfer them onto a rimmed baking sheet ensuring space between each piece so they roast evenly without overcrowding.
  2. While your sweet potatoes begin roasting, take your chicken pieces into that same mixing bowl you've used previously. Coat them with remaining avocado oil combined with leftover seasoning blend before letting them rest in there temporarily as they absorb those flavors. After 10 minutes have passed since roasting began on sweet potatoes, remove them from oven carefully tossing once again then nestle seasoned chicken onto baking sheet alongside.
  3. During this time while everything roasts away nicely in oven feel free to focus on preparing kale by massaging it gently! Combine olive oil along with lemon juice plus pinch of salt over washed leaves working through them lightly until tenderized which should take about one minute max.
  4. For that creamy chipotle sauce you crave so much combine Greek yogurt along mayonnaise with chipotle sauce squeezed lemon juice agave syrup plus another pinch salt into mixing bowl then stir until completely blended together!
  5. Now comes assembly time where you’ll divide cooked brown rice evenly between two warm bowls topping each one off generously using massaged kale followed by roasted sweet potatoes plus juicy chicken pieces! Finish off these masterpieces by layering sliced avocado crumbled feta cheese then drizzle delightful homemade chipotle sauce atop everything before digging right in!
