Ingredients
Scale
Protein
- 2 chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup BBQ sauce
Vegetables
- 2 cups sweet potatoes, cubed
- 1 cup corn kernels
- 1/2 red onion, chopped
- 1 avocado, sliced
Miscellaneous
- Olive oil or preferred cooking oil, for drizzling (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting the sweet potatoes.
- Roast the Sweet Potatoes: Spread the cubed sweet potatoes evenly on a baking sheet. Drizzle with a little olive oil if desired for extra crispiness. Roast them in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are tender and lightly browned.
- Cook the Chicken: While the sweet potatoes are roasting, grill or bake the chicken breasts until fully cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Shred the Chicken: Allow the cooked chicken to cool slightly. Then shred it using two forks and mix the shredded chicken thoroughly with the BBQ sauce for rich flavor.
- Assemble the Bowls: Divide the roasted sweet potatoes evenly between two bowls. Top each bowl with the BBQ shredded chicken, corn kernels, chopped red onion, and avocado slices.
- Serve: Serve the bowls immediately for the freshest taste, or store them in the refrigerator for easy meal prep during the week.
Notes
- You can drizzle olive oil on the sweet potatoes before roasting to enhance texture and flavor.
- Grilling the chicken adds a smoky flavor, but baking is a convenient alternative.
- Feel free to add additional toppings like cilantro, lime wedges, or a sprinkle of cheese for extra flavor.
- These bowls can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently.
- Make sure chicken is cooked to safe internal temperature (165°F) to ensure food safety.
