  • 2 jalapeños, finely diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt, pepper, cumin to taste

  • 2 cups broccoli florets, steamed
  • Fresh cilantro and lime to serve

    Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss sweet potato cubes with harissa paste and olive oil. Roast 25–30 minutes until caramelized.

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high. Add garlic and jalapeños, cook 1 minute.

  3. 03

    Add ground chicken. Break up and cook until browned, about 8 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and cumin.

  4. 04

    Steam broccoli until bright green and tender-crisp.

    Build your bowl: rice on the bottom, then chicken, broccoli, and harissa sweet potatoes.

  6. 06

    Finish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime.

Erica's Note

The harissa sweet potatoes are the star of this bowl — make extra and use them all week.
