  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 30 minute

Ingredients

– 2 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
– 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 2 cups fresh spinach or mixed greens
– 1 cup shredded carrots
– ½ cup sliced red bell pepper
– ¼ cup chopped green onions
– ½ cup chopped cilantro (optional)


Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create your own Thai Peanut Chicken Buddha Bowl with Sweet Potatoes:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare Sweet Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the cubed sweet potatoes with 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 25-30 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized.
4. Cook Chicken: While the sweet potatoes are roasting, season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and any additional spices you prefer. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a bit of olive oil.
5. Sear Chicken: Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked through and no longer pink in the center. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes.
6. Slice Chicken: Once the chicken has rested, slice it into thin strips.
7. Make Peanut Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, lime juice, and water until smooth. Adjust the consistency to your liking by adding more water if necessary.
8. Assemble Bowls: In serving bowls, layer the spinach or mixed greens, roasted sweet potatoes, sliced chicken, shredded carrots, red bell pepper, and green onions.
9. Drizzle Sauce: Generously drizzle the peanut sauce over each bowl.
10. Garnish: Top with chopped cilantro if desired.

With these steps, you’ll have a delicious and nutritious meal ready to enjoy!
