Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F. Toss the diced sweet potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of paprika, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast for 20 minutes, or until they’re tender and golden.
While the sweet potatoes are roasting, cook the diced chicken in a skillet over medium-high heat with a splash of olive oil. Sauté the chicken for 6-8 minutes, or until it’s nicely browned and cooked through, with an internal temperature of 165°F.
In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoon of tahini, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon of water until the mixture is smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more water if needed.
Grab your serving bowls and layer the cooked brown rice as the base. Top with the roasted sweet potatoes and the cooked chicken.
Drizzle the delicious tahini sauce over the top of the rice bowl just before serving.
