Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 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
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting the sweet potatoes.
- Roast the Sweet Potatoes: Spread the cubed sweet potatoes on a baking sheet. Optionally drizzle with a little olive oil. Roast in the oven for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the potatoes are tender and lightly browned.
- Cook the Chicken: While the sweet potatoes roast, grill or bake the chicken breasts until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to ensure they are fully cooked.
- Shred the Chicken: Allow the chicken to cool slightly, then shred it into bite-sized pieces. Mix the shredded chicken with the BBQ sauce until well coated.
- Assemble the Bowls: Divide the roasted sweet potatoes, BBQ shredded chicken, corn kernels, chopped red onion, and avocado slices evenly between two bowls.
- Serve: Serve the bowls immediately for optimal freshness, or store in airtight containers for meal prep throughout the week.
Notes
- For added flavor, drizzle the sweet potatoes with olive oil and season with salt and pepper before roasting.
- You can substitute grilled chicken with rotisserie chicken for a quicker option.
- Use fresh or frozen corn kernels according to availability.
- To make it spicier, add a pinch of chili flakes or a drizzle of hot sauce.
- This recipe is perfect for meal prep and stores well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
