Ingredients

Sweet Potatoes

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Chicken

  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • ½ cup BBQ sauce

Toppings and Garnish

  • 1 cup corn kernels
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for roasting the sweet potatoes.
  2. Season Sweet Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the peeled and diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until they are evenly coated.
  3. Roast Sweet Potatoes: Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast them in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the potatoes are tender and golden.
  4. Heat BBQ Chicken: While the sweet potatoes roast, combine the cooked shredded chicken and BBQ sauce in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir frequently and heat until the chicken is warmed through and fully coated.
  5. Assemble Bowls: Divide the roasted sweet potatoes evenly among serving bowls. Top each bowl with the warm BBQ chicken, corn kernels, sliced avocado, and green onions.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Finish each bowl with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro. Serve immediately for a delicious, balanced meal.
