- 1 pound Chicken Breast (Cut into bite-sized cubes; substitute with turkey breast for variety.)
Vegetables
- 2 medium Roasted Sweet Potatoes (Naturally sweet and nutritious; orange or purple varieties lend unique flavors.)
- 2 cups White or Brown Rice (Base of the bowl; quinoa or cauliflower rice works well for a low-carb swap.)
