Preheat your oven to 400°F. On a half-sheet pan, toss the sweet potato cubes with two thirds of the olive oil and half the salt. Spread them in a single layer and roast until tender and browned at the edges, about 20 minutes.
While the potatoes roast, heat the remaining oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground chicken and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, breaking it up only occasionally to allow for light browning, until no pink remains. Done when reached 165°F.
Stir the minced garlic, smoked paprika, cumin, and the remaining salt into the skillet. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the spinach and stir constantly until the leaves are just wilted, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon juice.
When the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven. Spoon the roasted sweet potatoes into a bowl and top with the spiced chicken and spinach mixture.
