For the BBQ Chicken:

  • 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 1/2 cup barbecue sauce (plus more for drizzling)

For the Sweet Potatoes:

  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

For the Coleslaw:

  • 2 cups coleslaw mix
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon honey

Additional Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup sliced dill pickles
  • Fresh parsley or green onions for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Roast the Sweet Potatoes: Toss the sweet potato cubes with olive oil, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Roast on a baking sheet for 25–30 minutes until tender and slightly crispy.
  3. Cook the Chicken: Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Cook in a skillet over medium heat for 6–7 minutes per side. Brush with barbecue sauce during the last 2 minutes of cooking. Let rest before slicing.
  4. Prepare the Coleslaw: Whisk together mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, and honey. Toss with the coleslaw mix.
  5. Assemble the Bowls: Divide sweet potatoes among 4 bowls. Top with sliced BBQ chicken, coleslaw, dill pickles, and extra barbecue sauce. Garnish with parsley or green onions.

Notes

  • You can use rotisserie chicken tossed in BBQ sauce for a shortcut.
  • Add avocado or a grain like quinoa for more variety.
