BBQ Chicken & Roasted Sweet Potato Bowls: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe


  • Author: Lauren Baker
  • Total Time: 55 minutes

Ingredients

– 2 large chicken breasts
– 2 large sweet potatoes, diced
– 1 cup broccoli florets
– 1 cup bell pepper, diced (any color)
– ½ cup red onion, diced
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 1 cup BBQ sauce (your choice of flavor)
– Fresh parsley or cilantro for garnish (optional)


Instructions

Creating BBQ Chicken & Roasted Sweet Potato Bowls is simple if you follow these easy steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Prepare Sweet Potatoes: In a large bowl, combine diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
3. Roast Sweet Potatoes: Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until tender and slightly caramelized.
4. Cook the Chicken: While the sweet potatoes roast, season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and any additional spices you prefer. Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat and add the chicken.
5. Grill Chicken: Cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked through and no longer pink. Brush BBQ sauce over the chicken during the last few minutes of cooking, allowing it to caramelize.
6. Prepare Vegetables: In the last 10 minutes of roasting the sweet potatoes, add broccoli florets, bell pepper, and red onion to another baking sheet and drizzle with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper. Place in the oven alongside the sweet potatoes.
7. Rest the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the heat and allow it to rest for a few minutes before slicing.
8. Assemble Bowls: In serving bowls, layer the roasted sweet potatoes, grilled chicken (sliced), and roasted vegetables.
9. Add Extra BBQ Sauce: Drizzle additional BBQ sauce over the top if desired.
10. Garnish: Finish with chopped fresh parsley or cilantro for added flavor and a pop of color.
