This Harvest Bowl recipe has coconut rice with roasted vegetables, tender chicken, and an easy sweet curry sauce on top. It's healthy, delicious, and my favorite Fall meal!
Roast Veggies: Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Spread out chopped sweet potato and halved Brussels sprouts over a large baking pan. Drizzle with olive oil and season with a little salt and pepper and toss to coat. Roast until the vegetables are tender and starting to brown, about 18-30 minutes.
Coconut Rice: Cook the coconut rice while the vegetables are roasting. Add water, coconut milk, sugar, and salt to a large saucepan. Bring to a boil, then stir in rice. Return to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and cook for 20 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand 10 minutes. Remove lid and fluff rice with a fork.
Sweet Curry Sauce: Add all sauce ingredients to a small saucepan. Whisk well to combine, particularly to dissolve the cornstarch. Cook over medium heat until simmering and just begins to thicken. Remove from heat.
Cook Chicken: Season chicken with salt and pepper and a little curry powder on all sides. Sauté or grill over medium-high heat, flipping once, until cooked on both sides. Remove to a plate to rest.
Assemble Harvest Bowls: Add a big spoonful of coconut rice to a bowl. Top with grilled chicken and a spoonful each of sweet potatoes, Brussels sprouts, pecans, pomegranate arils, and sliced avocado. Drizzle a small spoonful of sauce over the top. Serve immediately.
