Chile-Roasted Chicken And Sweet Potatoes With Cilantro Rice

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 400u00b0 F.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, combine the chopped sweet potatoes, chicken thighs, and red onion. In a smaller bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of the oil with the chile powder, paprika, cumin, coriander, and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt. Stir until well combined. Pour over the chicken and vegetables and mix until everything is well coated with the oil and spice mixture.

3. 3

   Spread the chicken and vegetables in an even layer on a baking sheet, and bake until the potatoes are crispy on the edges and the chicken is juicy and cooked through, about 35 to 40 minutes.

4. 4

   While the chicken and vegetables are baking, start the rice. Combine the cilantro, scallions, garlic, 2 tablespoons of lime juice, jalapeno, and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon of salt in a food processor or blender. Blend until a smooth paste is formed.

5. 5

   Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Once hot, add the rice and cook, stirring frequently, for about 1 minute. Add the cilantro puree and continue to cook for an additional 1 minute. Add the chicken broth, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a low simmer and cook, covered, until the rice is tender and no extra liquid remains, about 20 minutes.

6. 6

   In a small bowl, combine the sour cream with the remaining 2 tablespoons of fresh lime juice until well mixed.

7. 7

   When the rice is cooked and the chicken and vegetables are finished roasting, chop the chicken into bite sized pieces. Divide the cilantro rice evenly between 4 bowls, along with equal amounts of chicken and roasted vegetables. Top each bowl with a dollop of lime-sour cream.
