Main Ingredients

  • 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup barbecue sauce (use your favorite brand)
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • to taste salt and pepper
  • 1 piece red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 cup corn (fresh, frozen, or canned)
  • 1 piece avocado, sliced (for serving)
  • to taste fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure your sweet potatoes roast beautifully.
  • In a bowl, toss the cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet.

Roasting and Cooking

  • Roast the sweet potatoes in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden and tender. Toss halfway through for even cooking.
  • While sweet potatoes are roasting, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side until cooked through.
  • Once the chicken is cooked, remove from heat and brush your favorite barbecue sauce generously onto both sides. Let it sit for a minute to caramelize.

Assembly

  • Slice the BBQ chicken and layer it on top of the roasted sweet potatoes. Add diced red bell pepper and corn.
  • Finish off the bowls with fresh avocado slices and cilantro, if desired.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3-4 days. Reheat in a microwave for 1-2 minutes or in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes, keeping avocado aside until serving.
