Instructions
Creating your BBQ Chicken Sweet Potato Bowl is a straightforward process. Follow these easy steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Prepare Sweet Potatoes: In a large mixing bowl, toss the diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
3. Roast Sweet Potatoes: Spread the sweet potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through until they are tender and golden brown.
4. Season Chicken: While the sweet potatoes roast, season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
5. Cook Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil, then add seasoned chicken breasts. Cook for about 6–7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and no longer pink in the center.
6. Add BBQ Sauce: Once the chicken is cooked, pour BBQ sauce over the chicken in the skillet. Allow it to simmer for a few minutes, letting the flavors meld.
7. Assemble the Bowl: Slice or shred the BBQ chicken. In a bowl, layer the roasted sweet potatoes, corn, diced bell pepper, black beans, and red onion. Add the BBQ chicken on top.
8. Garnish: If desired, sprinkle with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side.
