Ingredients

Scale

    Sweet Potatoes:

  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

    • Chicken:

  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup barbecue sauce, plus more for drizzling

    • Other Ingredients:

  • 2 cups cooked brown rice or quinoa
  • 1 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • Lime wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Roast the sweet potatoes: Toss sweet potato cubes with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and caramelized.
  3. Cook the chicken: Season chicken with salt and pepper. Grill or pan-cook for 5–6 minutes per side or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Brush with barbecue sauce during the last few minutes of cooking. Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice.
  4. Assemble the bowls: Divide rice or quinoa between bowls. Top with roasted sweet potatoes, sliced chicken, black beans, and corn. Drizzle with extra barbecue sauce and sprinkle with cilantro. Serve with lime wedges.

Notes

  • For a smoky kick, use chipotle barbecue sauce.
