- 0.25 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp onion powder
- 2 cups cooked white or brown rice
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt (plain, or mayonnaise)
- 1 tbsp lime juice

- 1 cup steamed or sautéed green vegetables (e.g., spinach, broccoli, cucumber)

- Whisk Greek yogurt (or mayonnaise), lime juice, sriracha, cumin, paprika, and optional cayenne. Season with salt until smooth and thick.
- Cook rice and steam/sauté green vegetables if using.
- Divide cooked rice among bowls. Top with roasted sweet potatoes, pan-seared chicken, and green vegetables.

Notes
For best results, let chicken marinate in seasoning for at least 30 minutes before cooking. Store leftovers separately in airtight containers for up to three days.
