Instructions
Creating the perfect BBQ Chicken & Roasted Sweet Potato Bowls is simple. Follow these steps to achieve delicious results:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Prepare Sweet Potatoes: In a large bowl, mix diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
3. Roast Sweet Potatoes: Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes on a lined baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until fork-tender and golden.
4. Cook Chicken: While the sweet potatoes are roasting, place the chicken breasts in a skillet over medium heat. Pour half of the BBQ sauce over the chicken and cook for about 7 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
5. Shred Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. Then, shred it using two forks and mix with the remaining BBQ sauce.
6. Assemble Bowls: In serving bowls, layer the roasted sweet potatoes first, then top with shredded BBQ chicken.
7. Add Toppings: Sprinkle any desired toppings such as diced avocado, sliced green onions, or chopped cilantro.
8. Serve: Enjoy your BBQ Chicken & Roasted Sweet Potato Bowls warm, either as a standalone meal or alongside your choice of side dishes.
