Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. Peel and cut 2 medium sweet potatoes into 1-inch cubes, toss with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper, then spread evenly on a baking sheet. Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway, until tender and caramelized at edges.
  2. Step 2: While sweet potatoes roast, pat dry 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts and season both sides with 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and 1 tsp paprika. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Step 3: Add chicken breasts to the skillet and sear for 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove from heat and let rest 5 minutes.
  4. Step 4: In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice, 1 minced garlic clove, and 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley. Stir well and season with a pinch of salt to taste.
  5. Step 5: Serve the sliced chicken alongside roasted sweet potatoes and drizzle with the tangy yogurt sauce for a balanced, flavorful meal.
