Ingredients
  

  • 500 grams boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 large sweet potato diced into 1.5cm cubes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ? teaspoon ground cumin
  • ? teaspoon salt
  • ? teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 small cucumber thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar

  • ? teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups cooked white rice
  • 1 ripe avocado sliced
  • ? cup hot honey

Equipment

  • baking tray
  • large bowl
  • small bowl
  • oven

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 200?C (fan 180?C) / 400?F.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the chicken thighs and diced sweet potato with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper until well coated. Arrange everything on a lined baking tray in a single layer.
  3. Bake for 30-40 minutes, flipping the chicken halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through (internal temp 74?C / 165?F) and the sweet potatoes are tender and lightly caramelised.
  4. While the chicken bakes, mix the vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small bowl until the sugar dissolves. Add the cucumber slices and toss to coat. Let it sit for at least 10 minutes, tossing occasionally.
  5. Spoon the cooked rice into bowls. Top with baked sweet potato, chicken (sliced if you like), avocado slices, and pickled cucumber. Drizzle generously with hot honey to finish.
