Mexican-Style Spicy Sweet Potato and Chicken Bowl

I followed this recipe 90% of the way...and it will definitely enter my weeknight rotation. Starting with the few changes I made: -subbed chopped tomatoes with a jar of salsa (it was all I had laying around) -instead of sour cream, made a sauce with greek yogurt, cilantro, salt and lime It's about 5-10 minutes of dicing/chopping, but otherwise it just sits in the oven and on the stove. It was an easy, tasty, healthy weeknight dinner.

So, admittedly I tweaked this: smoked paprika, Mexican oregano, cumin, garlic powder were rubbed over the sweet potatoes with avocado oil before being roasted. Same mixture sprinkled plus chili powder over cubed chicken breasts before cooking. Added a whole white onion & 3 cloves of garlic after the chicken was partially cooked. 15oz can of diced tomatoes. I served it as make your own with some rice and the roasted potatoes separate. With these changes, it will go into dinner rotations here. Oh and a bit of shredded Colby Jack cheese too.

It had lots of different flavours, but it was a weird mix of ingredients. It was sort of like a stew but not really. It almost seemed like it needed a base, like rice.

This recipe is tasty but underwhelming on its own. With some charred vegetables like a bell pepper, additional red onion, etc. and some tortillas this recipe can make for some very good fajitas. I also top it off with a squeeze of fresh lime and its delicious

This was surprisingly good! I did add a few chipotles in adobo sauce, just chopped up when adding the tomatoes (and I upped to 400g of tomatoes). It was really fast and delicious.

Good and simple recipe. I added a bit of chilli powder to make it spicer but I'm happy with how easy it is to make. Perfect meal after a workout.

I enjoyed this a lot, but found it a little sweeter than I expected. Maybe I didn't add enough paprika to cut the sweetness from the sweet potatoes.

爱this recipe!! Definitely will be doing this again, and putting my own spin on things. It's not spicy, and the chicken was a little bland, but when you eat all the flavors together, it was great. Also, I had finely chopped jalapinos on the side, ready to add when plating as an option. I love that the recipe is straight forward and simple, since - while I liked it the way that it is - it gives me ideas for other ways to make this in the future. So good, so healthy!

YUM!!!!! My husband couldn't stop saying 'This is awesome!' The paprika powder gave it a nice hint of heat. What I would do differently next time I'll make it is brown the chicken first, take it out, fry the garlic and onion and then put the chicken back in :)

This recipe is titled Spicy" not sure how one clove of garlic, half an onion and a bit of paprika can manage that.
