BBQ Chicken Sweet Potato Bowls combine the heartiness of sweet potatoes with the smoky sweetness of BBQ chicken, making for a satisfying meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 cup BBQ sauce
- 1 cup corn (canned or frozen)
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1/2 red onion, diced
- 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). While the oven heats up, wash and pierce the sweet potatoes with a fork.
- Place the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet and bake for 45-60 minutes until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
- In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken with BBQ sauce. Ensure that the chicken is thoroughly coated for maximum flavor.
- Once the sweet potatoes are baked, carefully slice them open and fluff the insides with a fork. Top each sweet potato with the BBQ chicken mixture, followed by corn, avocado, diced red onion, and chopped cilantro. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve warm.
Notes
For a caramelized flavor, consider roasting the corn in a skillet with a bit of oil before adding it to the bowls. Experiment with different BBQ sauces! A spicy sauce can add some kick, while honey BBQ offers extra sweetness.
