  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, diced
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup corn (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a bowl, toss the diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  3. Spread the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized.
  4. While the sweet potatoes are roasting, season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
  5. In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side until cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 75°C).
  6. During the last few minutes of cooking, brush the chicken with BBQ sauce to coat it.
  7. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
  8. In a bowl, layer the roasted sweet potatoes, sliced chicken, corn, and avocado.
  9. Drizzle with additional BBQ sauce if desired and sprinkle with fresh cilantro before serving.

  • Feel free to use leftover rotisserie chicken for a quicker option.
  • This dish can be made vegan by substituting the chicken with black beans or grilled tofu.
