A wholesome and flavorful meal combining smoky BBQ chicken with naturally sweet roasted sweet potatoes, perfect for a quick dinner or meal prep.

Ingredients

  • Chicken breasts or thighs (boneless, skinless)
  • BBQ sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • Sweet potatoes
  • Olive oil
  • Salt and pepper
  • Optional toppings: avocado, cilantro, green onions, lime wedges, shredded cheese, or sour cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into bite-sized cubes. Toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread evenly on a baking sheet. Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway, until tender and caramelized.
  3. While sweet potatoes roast, season chicken with salt and pepper. Cook in a skillet over medium heat with olive oil until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side depending on thickness.
  4. In the last few minutes of cooking, brush chicken generously with BBQ sauce and let it caramelize slightly.
  5. Once cooked, slice the chicken into strips.
  6. Assemble bowls by layering roasted sweet potatoes, BBQ chicken, and desired toppings such as avocado slices, cilantro, or a squeeze of lime.

Notes

  • This recipe serves 2-3 people.
  • Leftovers keep up to 3 days refrigerated; reheat separately for best texture.
  • Use fresh sweet potatoes for best caramelization; frozen can be used with adjusted cooking time.
  • Chicken thighs stay juicier, breasts are leaner.
  • Customize with toppings like toasted pepitas, black beans, or roasted corn for extra texture and flavor.
  • Ensure BBQ sauce is gluten-free if needed.
