Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 cups cooked white or brown rice (chilled for crisping)
- 2 tablespoons butter (for rice)
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, diced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for sweet potatoes)
- 1 cup shredded cabbage or kale
- Hot honey sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- Optional toppings: crumbled goat cheese, chopped scallions, sesame seeds
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for 20–25 minutes until tender and caramelized.
- While potatoes roast, season chicken with olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Grill or sear in a skillet over medium heat for about 6–7 minutes per side until cooked through. Let rest, then slice.
- In a skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add chilled rice and spread it out. Cook undisturbed for 3–4 minutes until the bottom is crispy. Stir and crisp a bit more if desired.
- Assemble bowls with crispy rice, roasted sweet potatoes, shredded cabbage or kale, and sliced chicken.
- Drizzle hot honey sauce generously over the top. Add any optional toppings like goat cheese, scallions, or sesame seeds.
- Serve warm and enjoy your delicious, homemade Sweetgreen-style plate!
Notes
- Make your own hot honey by mixing honey with a splash of hot sauce or a pinch of red pepper flakes.
- Use leftover rice for best crispiness—day-old rice crisps better than freshly made.
- Swap chicken for grilled tofu or tempeh for a vegetarian version!
