# Post-Workout Sweet Potato & Chicken Bowls

*Recipe by [@mealprepmike](https://save.cooking/@mealprepmike)*

High-protein meal-prep bowls with roasted sweet potatoes, seasoned chicken, and a quick Greek yogurt sauce. Built for fast assembly, consistent macros, and reheats that don’t get sad by day four.

These bowls are my default when I need a week of lunches that hit protein without eating up my Sunday. Everything cooks on two sheet pans, and the sauce takes 2 minutes while the oven does the work. Portion it once, then grab-and-go all week.

**Total Time:** 40 minutes | **Prep:** 15 minutes | **Cook:** 25 minutes | **Servings:** 6

## Ingredients

### Roasted Sweet Potatoes

- 3 medium sweet potatoes (about 1 1/2 lb / 680 g), peeled and cut into 3/4-inch cubes
- 1 1/2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper

### Chicken

- 2 lb (900 g) boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch chunks
- 1 1/2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp lime juice (about 1 lime)

### Bowls + Veg

- 3 cups cooked brown rice or quinoa (from about 1 cup dry), optional but recommended for extra carbs
- 3 cups broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)
- 1 (15-oz / 425 g) can black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 cup corn (frozen thawed or canned drained)

### Quick Protein Sauce

- 1 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 1 tbsp water (to thin as needed)
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tbsp chopped cilantro (optional)

### Optional Toppings (add when serving)

- Salsa or pico de gallo
- Sliced avocado
- Hot sauce

## Instructions

1. Heat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line two sheet pans with parchment or foil for fast cleanup.

2. Roast sweet potatoes: Toss sweet potato cubes with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread on one sheet pan in a single layer.

3. Season chicken: Toss chicken pieces with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, salt, pepper, and lime juice. Spread on the second sheet pan in a single layer.

4. Cook: Roast both pans for 18–22 minutes, flipping/stirring halfway. Chicken is done at 165°F (74°C) and sweet potatoes should be browned and tender.

5. Steam broccoli while the pans roast: Microwave with a splash of water in a covered bowl for 3–5 minutes, or steam on the stovetop until crisp-tender. Season lightly with salt.

6. Mix sauce: Stir Greek yogurt, lime juice, water, salt, garlic powder, and cilantro (if using) until smooth. Adjust thickness with a little more water.

7. Assemble meal-prep containers (6): Add 1/2 cup cooked rice/quinoa (optional), then divide chicken, sweet potatoes, broccoli, black beans, and corn evenly. Portion sauce into small containers or drizzle after reheating.

8. Store: Refrigerate up to 4 days. Reheat bowls 1–2 minutes in the microwave (add sauce after reheating).
