Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large sweet potatoes, cubed
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 1/4 cup BBQ sauce (choose your favorite brand or homemade)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish
  • Optional toppings: avocado slices, shredded cheese, Greek yogurt or sour cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the cubed sweet potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast for 25-30 minutes or until tender and caramelized.
  2. While roasting, season the chicken with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, add a tablespoon of olive oil, and cook the chicken for 6-8 minutes per side until fully cooked. Brush the chicken generously with BBQ sauce and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.
  3. Assemble the bowls by placing roasted sweet potatoes at the base. Top with sliced BBQ chicken and add optional toppings like avocado slices or Greek yogurt. Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley.
  4. Serve immediately or store leftovers in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat before serving for a quick, nutritious meal.

Notes

  • Use different BBQ sauces—spicy, smoky, or sweet—to customize the flavor profile.
  • Serve with grains like quinoa or brown rice for added fiber and energy.
