👩🍳 Instructions
- 1 Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) for 10 minutes. Prepare a baking sheet and line it with parchment paper so nothing sticks.
- 2 Marinate the chicken: mix the chicken breast with turmeric powder, coriander, garlic powder, paprika powder, lime juice, 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper. Stir well and let it sit for at least 15 minutes so the flavors soak in.
- 3 Peel the sweet potato and cut it into 2 cm (about 3/4 inch) cubes. Toss with the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and a little salt.
- 4 Arrange the chicken and sweet potato separately on the baking sheet, then roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and the sweet potato is tender and lightly browned.
- 5 While waiting, boil the green beans in salted boiling water for 3-4 minutes until crisp-tender, then drain and rinse with ice water to keep them bright green.
- 6 Once the chicken is cooked, slice or shred it as desired.
- 7 Arrange the rice, roasted turmeric chicken, roasted sweet potato, and green beans separately in the lunch box to keep their textures intact.
- 8 Store in the fridge if not eating right away, and reheat briefly before enjoying at the office.
💡 Tips
• The chicken can be marinated the night before so the flavors soak in even more, letting you just pop it in the oven in the morning.
• Use an air fryer at 190°C (375°F) for 15 minutes as an oven alternative if you want it faster and more energy-efficient.
• Keep the rice and side dishes in separate compartments so the sweet potato and green beans don't get soggy on the go.
• Swap the green beans for broccoli or long beans depending on what you have at home, without changing the overall flavor.
