  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the diced chicken breast with smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to coat the chicken in the spices.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the chicken. Cook for about 10-12 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked through and lightly browned, stirring occasionally for even cooking.
  4. Once the chicken and vegetables are cooked, assemble your bento box by placing lettuce leaves on one side. Spoon the smoky chili chicken onto the lettuce wraps and top with roasted pumpkin and eggplant.
  5. Garnish with fresh dill and serve with a wedge of lime on the side.
  6. Enjoy your vibrant and nutritious bento box!
