Cooking Steps
  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Scrub the sweet potatoes and cut into wedge/fry shapes.
  3. Drizzle the sweet potatoes with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt, garlic powder, and paprika. Toss well to combine.
  4. Transfer the sweet potatoes to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and roast for 20 minutes.
  5. Meanwhile, cut the chicken into about 1 inch cubes and add to a mixing bowl.
  6. Toss the chicken with olive oil and all spices until well combined.
