2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon paprika
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup BBQ sauce (plus extra for drizzling)
2 cups cooked brown rice or quinoa
1 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained
1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
1/4 cup diced red onion
1 avocado, sliced
Fresh cilantro, for garnish
Lime wedges (optional)
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Toss sweet potatoes with 1 tbsp olive oil, paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes.
While potatoes roast, season chicken with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet and cook chicken over medium heat until done (about 6-7 minutes per side).
Brush cooked chicken with BBQ sauce and slice into strips.
In each bowl, add a base of rice or quinoa. Top with roasted sweet potatoes, BBQ chicken, black beans, corn, red onion, and avocado.
Drizzle with extra BBQ sauce, garnish with cilantro, and serve with lime wedges if desired.
Substitute chicken with tofu or tempeh for a vegetarian version.
Use pre-cooked brown rice or quinoa for faster prep.
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days.
