Ingredients
For the Sweet Potatoes:
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste
For the Hot Honey Chicken:
- 2 tablespoons hot honey
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 2 pounds boneless chicken breast, cut into-1inch cubes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
For the Bowls:
- 4 cups arugula
- 2 cups cottage cheese
- 1 cup cucumber, diced
- 2 avocados, sliced
- Pickled red onions
- Corn salsa, optional
- Hot honey, for drizzling
- Cilantro, for garnish, optional
- Jalapeño ranch, for serving, optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place the sweet potatoes on a large baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and toss until well coated. Make sure they are in an even layer and not touching. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, or until tender, flipping halfway through with a spatula.
- Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together the hot honey, lemon juice, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, salt and crushed red pepper. Add the chicken and stir until the chicken is well coated.
- In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat, add the chicken. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and reaches 165 degrees F. Remove from heat.
- To assemble the bowls, divide the ingredients evenly between bowls. You can make 4 to 6 bowls, depending on how hungry you are. Start with the arugula, then add cooked chicken, roasted sweet potatoes, cottage cheese, cucumber, avocado, pickled red onions, and corn salsa, if using. Drizzle with hot honey and garnish with cilantro, if desired. The bowls don’t need a dressing, but if you want extra flavor and like sauce, you can drizzle with jalapeño ranch. Serve and enjoy!
