  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 0.5 tsp paprika
  • 0.25 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 0.5 tsp garlic powder
  • 0.5 tsp onion powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 cups cooked white or brown rice

Instructions

  3. Whisk Greek yogurt (or mayonnaise), lime juice, sriracha, cumin, paprika, and optional cayenne. Season with salt until smooth and of a thick gooey consistency.
  4. Cook rice and steam/sauté green vegetables if using.

  6. Generously drizzle with creamy spiced sauce. Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley. Serve immediately.
