# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat oven to 200°C and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
02 - Wash, peel, and cut sweet potatoes into 2.5 cm cubes for even cooking.
03 - Place sweet potato cubes in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
04 - Spread seasoned sweet potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and fork-tender.
05 - While sweet potatoes roast, pat chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season both sides with paprika, turmeric, black pepper, salt, and olive oil, massaging spices into the meat.
06 - Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Once hot, place chicken breasts in the pan and cook undisturbed for 6–7 minutes. Flip and cook an additional 6–7 minutes until golden and cooked through. Allow to rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
07 - In a bowl, toss chopped kale with olive oil and lemon juice until lightly wilted.
08 - Divide cooked brown rice among serving bowls. Top with roasted sweet potatoes, sliced chicken, and kale. Serve immediately.

# Additional Information:

01 - Cut sweet potatoes into uniform cubes for even roasting.
02 - For richer flavor, marinate chicken in spices and olive oil for 30 minutes before cooking.
03 - Roasting sweet potatoes a few minutes longer adds extra crispness.
04 - Use tender, fresh kale for optimal texture.
05 - Enhance satiety by adding avocado slices or a dollop of Greek yogurt.
