Description
Delicious BBQ Chicken Bowls featuring roasted sweet potatoes and a creamy slaw, perfect for a hearty meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 pound total)
- 1 cup BBQ sauce (your favorite brand)
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced (about 2 cups)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 cups coleslaw mix (cabbage and carrots)
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Fresh cilantro or green onions for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a bowl, toss the diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized, stirring halfway through.
- While the sweet potatoes are roasting, season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side until fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Remove from heat and brush with BBQ sauce, allowing it to caramelize slightly.
- In a separate bowl, combine the coleslaw mix, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, black pepper, and salt. Mix until well combined.
- Once the chicken is cooked, slice it into strips.
- To assemble the bowls, divide the roasted sweet potatoes among four bowls, top with sliced BBQ chicken, and add a generous scoop of coleslaw. Garnish with fresh cilantro or green onions if desired.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add a dash of cayenne pepper to the sweet potatoes or use a spicy BBQ sauce.
- You can substitute the chicken with grilled tofu or chickpeas for a vegetarian option.
