Cooking Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare your baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  2. Dice the sweet potatoes into uniform bite-sized pieces, toss with olive oil, paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread on the baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes, flipping halfway.
  3. Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper, sauté for 6-8 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine tahini, lemon juice, and water. Whisk until smooth, adjusting consistency as needed.
  5. Assemble your bowl with brown rice as the base, topped with roasted sweet potatoes and sautéed chicken. Drizzle tahini sauce on top.
  6. Serve warm, optionally with a side salad or steamed greens.
