- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp oregano
- 1 tsp onion powder

- 1 lb chicken tenderloin
- 3/4 cup onion chopped
- 1 1/2 cups Brussels sprouts shaved

Avocado Cream
- 1 large avocado
- 1/4 cup yogurt plain, Greek

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Add sweet potato to a large bowl along with 1 1/2 tablespoons olive olive, 1/2 teaspoon salt and cumin. Toss to combine everything together. Spread on a baking sheet and roast until soft, about 15-20 minutes.
- While the sweet potato cooks, add the garlic powder, paprika, oregano, onion powder, and 3/4 teaspoon salt to a small bowl. Add chicken to the same bowl you tossed the sweet potato in, toss with spice mix until evenly coated.
- Heat a large cast iron skillet to a medium heat. Add 2 teaspoons of olive oil. Once the pan is hot, add chicken. Cook until blackened and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes on one side and 2-3 minutes on the other. Remove from the pan.
- Add remaining olive oil the pan along with onion, Brussels sprouts and garlic. Sauté until onion, Brussels and garlic and all softened, about 5 minutes. Add black beans, cook another 1-2 minutes. Season with a little bit of salt and pepper. Remove from heat until sweet potatoes are cooked.
- Cook rice according to package directions. Toss with chopped cilantro and season with salt and pepper.
- To assemble. Put rice in the bottom of 4 bowls. Top with onion Brussels sprout mixture, sweet potatoes and chicken. Drizzle with avocado cream (I like to put the cream in a small ziplock bag and cut the tip off to drizzle easily) and sprinkle with cilantro.
Avocado Cream
- Put avocado in a bowl. Mash really well with a fork. Add Greek yogurt. Continue to mash so you have very little lumps. Add lemon juice, whisk until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
