Description
A delicious and easy recipe for BBQ Chicken and Roasted Sweet Potato Bowls, perfect for a healthy meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into 1-inch cubes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup BBQ sauce (your favorite brand)
- 1 cup corn (canned or frozen)
- 1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- Lime wedges for serving
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, toss the diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated. Spread them out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Roast the sweet potatoes in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized, stirring halfway through.
- While the sweet potatoes are roasting, season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked. Brush the BBQ sauce over the chicken during the last few minutes of cooking.
- Remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.
- To assemble the bowls, divide the roasted sweet potatoes, corn, black beans, and sliced chicken among four bowls. Top with avocado slices, chopped cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious BBQ chicken and roasted sweet potato bowls!
Notes
- For a spicy kick, add diced jalapeños or a sprinkle of cayenne pepper to the sweet potatoes before roasting.
- Substitute the chicken with grilled tofu or tempeh for a vegetarian option, and use a vegan BBQ sauce to keep it plant-based.
