There’s nothing quite like the mouthwatering aroma of BBQ Chicken & Roasted Sweet Potato Bowls filling the kitchen after a long day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large sweet potatoes
  • 1 yellow onion
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon chipotle powder
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
  • 1 cup broccoli

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Prepare the Vegetables: On a lined sheet pan, combine the chopped sweet potatoes and onions. Toss them generously with olive oil, salt, garlic powder, and chipotle powder.
  3. Roast the Vegetables: Bake the sweet potatoes and onions for about 20 minutes, or until they start to soften and turn golden brown.
  4. Add the Broccoli and Chicken: After the initial roasting, stir in the broccoli. Place the chicken breasts on the pan and brush them liberally with BBQ sauce.
  5. Bake Until Cooked Through: Return the sheet pan to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes.
  6. Shred the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the pan and shred it using two forks.
  7. Assemble and Serve: Divide the roasted chicken and vegetables between three bowls and dig in immediately.

Notes

  • Check Chicken Temperature: Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
  • Perfect Roasting Timing: Don’t overcrowd the pan.
  • Meal Prep Friendly: For easy meal prep, freeze individual portions in airtight containers.
  • Flavor Variations: Experiment with different BBQ sauces.
  • Broccoli Alternatives: If using frozen broccoli, add it during the last 5-10 minutes of roasting.
