Creating the BBQ Chicken Sweet Potato Bowl is easy and enjoyable when you follow these clear steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare Sweet Potatoes: Arrange the cubed sweet potatoes on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
3. Bake Sweet Potatoes: Roast the sweet potatoes in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
4. Cook Chicken: While the sweet potatoes are baking, season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and sear for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown.
5. Add BBQ Sauce: Once the chicken is cooked through, brush it generously with BBQ sauce. Let it cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the sauce to caramelize.
6. Shred Chicken: Remove the chicken from heat and let it rest for a few minutes. Then, shred it using two forks.
7. Assemble Bowls: In serving bowls, add a generous scoop of roasted sweet potatoes. Top with shredded BBQ chicken.
8. Garnish: Sprinkle fresh cilantro and sliced green onions over the top. Add any optional toppings such as avocado or corn if desired.
9. Drizzle with Extra BBQ Sauce: For additional flavor, drizzle more BBQ sauce over the assembled bowls before serving.
10. Serve Warm: Enjoy your BBQ Chicken Sweet Potato Bowl warm for the best flavors.

By following these steps, you’ll create a wonderful dish that’s not only healthy but also incredibly satisfying.
