• 2 Tbsp garlic
• 2 tsp oregano
• 1 tsp coriander
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1 Tbsp chili powder
• 2 Tbsp olive oil
• 1 Tbsp lime juice

3. While the chicken is marinating, peel the sweet potatoes and finely chop them using a food processor so it is in very small pieces, resembling rice.
4. Add to a pot of boiling water and cook until soft. Strain the water and pat dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and 1 Tbsp of chili powder.

6. Add 1 Tbsp of oil to the pan and cook the peppers and onions until they are soft. Cook in batches if necessary. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
7. After the peppers and onions have cooked, cook the chicken (in batches if necessary).
8. Once all the chicken has finished cooking, add all the peppers, onions, and chicken back to the pan and add lime juice.
9. This recipe makes 5 servings. Divide your sweet potato rice, chicken, and peppers evenly between each of your containers. Top each dish with queso fresco.
