A flavorful and easy-to-make BBQ Chicken Sweet Potato Bowl, packed with savory, smoky BBQ chicken, tender sweet potatoes, and vibrant toppings, making it a nutritious and satisfying meal.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
  • 1/4 cup corn kernels (optional)
  • 1/4 cup black beans (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • Avocado slices (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Toss sweet potato cubes with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  3. Roast the sweet potatoes in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized, flipping halfway through.
  4. While the sweet potatoes are roasting, season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and a bit of olive oil. Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium heat.
  5. Cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked and juices run clear. Remove from heat and brush with BBQ sauce.
  6. Slice the BBQ chicken into thin strips.
  7. Once the sweet potatoes are done, assemble the bowls by adding a base of sweet potatoes, followed by BBQ chicken strips, red onion, cilantro, and optional toppings like corn, black beans, avocado, and lime juice.
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy your BBQ Chicken Sweet Potato Bowl!
