# Instructions:
01 -
Set your oven to 400°F (or 200°C) so it can warm up.
02 -
Coat each chicken breast with olive oil first, then add the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
03 -
Put a skillet or grill pan on medium heat, then cook each side of the chicken for about 5-6 minutes. Brush BBQ sauce on top in the last minute. Let it caramelize a bit.
04 -
Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes. After that, slice it into pieces.
05 -
Put the chopped sweet potatoes in a bowl. Add cumin, paprika, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Make sure it’s all coated evenly.
06 -
Spread the sweet potato pieces onto a baking sheet evenly. Flip them once halfway through the 25-30 minute period until they’re soft and golden.
07 -
Start with a base of quinoa or rice at the bottom of the bowl. Add the sweet potatoes, diced red pepper, corn, and avocado slices on top. Finish with BBQ chicken slices.
08 -
Top your bowl with fresh cilantro and a drizzle of BBQ sauce. Dig in while it’s fresh!
# Notes:
01 -
If you’re meal prepping, make everything and keep them separate until ready to eat.
02 -
Grilling the chicken on an outdoor grill gives it an extra smokey flavor.
03 -
To save time, grab ready-made quinoa or rice from the store.
04 -
For a meatless option, you can use roasted chickpeas or tofu instead of chicken.
05 -
Save time by baking the sweet potatoes while the chicken cooks.
