Peanut Chicken Protein Bowls
Ingredients
- 1 large sweet potato, peeled, cut into 1/2" cubes
- 1 large red onion, finely chopped
- 3 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 (6- to 8-oz.) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp. ground ginger
- 1 small garlic clove, finely chopped
- 1 lime, juiced
- 2 Tbsp. creamy peanut butter
- 1 Tbsp. honey
- 1 Tbsp. reduced-sodium soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp. toasted sesame oil
- 4 cups cooked brown rice
- 1 avocado, thinly sliced
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 1 Tbsp. finely chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 tsp. toasted sesame seeds
- Arrange a rack in centre of oven; preheat to 425°. On a large baking sheet, toss potatoes and onion with 1 Tbsp. olive oil; season with salt and pepper.
- Bake potatoes until tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat 1 Tbsp. olive oil. Season chicken with garlic powder, ginger, salt, and pepper. Cook chicken, turning occasionally, until golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part registers 165°, about 8 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board. Let rest 10 minutes, then thinly slice.
- In a small bowl, whisk garlic, lime juice, peanut butter, honey, and soy sauce. Whisk in sesame oil and remaining 1 Tbsp. olive oil until smooth.
- Divide rice among bowls. Top with potato mixture, chicken, avocado, and spinach. Sprinkle with cilantro and sesame seeds. Drizzle with dressing.
