Preparation
1
Roast sweet potatoes and onions

Before starting, preheat the oven to 425°F. Wash and dry all produce. Cut sweet potatoes into 1/2-inch pieces. Add sweet potatoes, half the onions, 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) garlic salt and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil to an unlined baking sheet. Season with pepper, then toss to combine. Roast in the middle of the oven, stirring halfway through, until tender and golden-brown, 18-22 min.

2
Cook rice

Meanwhile, heat a medium pot over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then remaining onions. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 1 min. Add rice, 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) garlic salt and 1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 cups) water. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to low. Cover and cook until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 12-14 min. Remove the pot from heat. Set aside, still covered.

3
Toast almonds and prep

Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat. When hot, add almonds to the dry pan. Toast, stirring occasionally, until golden-brown, 2-3 min. (TIP: Keep your eye on almonds so they don't burn!) While almonds toast, pat chicken dry with paper towels. Sprinkle with Turkish Spice Blend and 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) garlic salt. Season with pepper. When almonds are done, transfer to a plate and set aside.

4
Cook chicken

Reheat the same pan over medium-high. Add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then chicken. Pan-fry until golden-brown and cooked through, 4-5 min per side.**

Add yogurt, half the parsley, 1 tsp (2 tsp) lemon zest, 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) lemon juice and 1 tsp (2 tsp) sugar to a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then whisk to combine.

6
Finish and serve
