Preparation
1
Prep and roast potatoes
  • Before starting, preheat the oven to 425°F.
    Wash and dry all produce.
  • Cut sweet potatoes into 1/2-inch pieces.
  • To a parchment-lined baking sheet, add sweet potatoes and 1 tbsp olive oil. Season with salt and pepper, if you like. Toss to coat. (NOTE: For 4 servings, use 2 baking sheets, with 1 tbsp olive oil per sheet.)
  • Roast in the middle of the oven for 16-18 min, stirring halfway through, until tender and golden. (NOTE: For 4 servings, roast in the middle and bottom of the oven, switching baking sheet positions halfway through.)
2
Prep veggies and cook bulgur
  • To a medium pot, add 1/8 tsp (1/4 tsp) salt and 3/4 cup (1 1/2 cups) water. Cover and bring to a boil over high.
  • Once water is boiling, add bulgur and half the Smoked Parika-Garlic Blend. Stir, then cover, remove from heat and let stand for 15-16 min, until bulgur is tender and liquid is absorbed.
  • Meanwhile, zest, then juice half the lime (use whole lime for 4 servings). Cut any remaining lime into wedges.
  • Rough chop spinach.
  • Rough chop cilantro.
  • While bulgur is hydrating, add chopped spinach to the pot. Do not mix.
3
Prep and cook chicken
  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high.
  • Meanwhile, pat chicken dry with paper towels.
  • To a large bowl, add chicken and remaining Smoked Paprika-Garlic Blend. Season with salt and pepper, if you like. Toss to coat.
  • When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) olive oil and chicken. (NOTE: Don't crowd the pan; cook chicken in 2 batches if needed.) Cook for 1-2 min per side, until golden. Transfer chicken to another parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast in the middle of the oven for 10-12 min [7-9 min], until cooked through.**
  • Carefully wipe pan clean.
4
Toast sunflower seeds
  • Reheat the same pan over medium.
  • When hot, add sunflower seeds to the dry pan. Toast for 4-5 min, stirring often, until golden. (TIP: Keep your eye on them so they don't burn!)
  • Transfer to a plate.
5
Make lime-yogurt sauce and finish bulgur
  • To a small bowl, add yogurt, lime juice, half the lime zest, half the cilantro and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) water. Whisk to combine. Season with salt and pepper, if you like. 
  • To the bulgur-spinach mix, add 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) olive oil and remaining lime zest. Fluff with a fork. Season with salt and pepper, if you like. 
  • Add toasted sunflower seeds to the pan with roasted sweet potatoes. Toss to combine.
6
Finish and serve
  • Thinly slice chicken.
  • Divide chicken, bulgur, sweet potatoes and lime-yogurt sauce between bowls.
  • Sprinkle remaining cilantro over top.
  • Season with salt and pepper, if you like.
  • Squeeze a lime wedge over top.
