Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash and peel the sweet potatoes, then cut them into bite-sized cubes.
- Toss the sweet potato cubes with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and spread them evenly on a baking sheet.
- Roast in the oven for about 25-30 minutes or until fork-tender and slightly caramelized.
Cooking the Chicken
- While the sweet potatoes are roasting, season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and no longer pink inside.
- Reduce the heat to low and pour the BBQ sauce over the chicken. Let it simmer for an additional 5 minutes until the chicken is coated and heated through.
Assembling the Bowls
- Once the sweet potatoes and chicken are cooked, start assembling your bowls.
- Begin with a generous scoop of roasted sweet potatoes at the base.
- Slice the BBQ chicken and place it on top of the sweet potatoes.
- If you’re adding broccoli or any other veggies, sauté them quickly in the same skillet for extra flavor before layering them in your bowl.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro or chopped green onions for a pop of color and added flavor.
