Description

πŸ— Savor a balanced meal with lean BBQ chicken, wholesome sweet potatoes, and flavorful roasted veggies.
🌢️ This easy one-pan recipe is perfect for quick weeknight dinners or meal prepping nutritious lunches.


Ingredients

– 2 medium sweet potatoes

– 1 large yellow onion

– 1 tablespoon olive oil (divided)

– 1/4 teaspoon salt (divided)

– 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

– 1/2 teaspoon chipotle powder or chili powder

– 1 medium head broccoli

– 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts

– 1/2 cup BBQ sauce (divided)


Instructions

Pulled Chicken Sweet Potato Bowls come together in no time with this guide. Start by preheating your oven to 400Β°F and gathering your ingredients. This step ensures everything is ready for smooth cooking. Peeling and chopping the sweet potatoes into 1/2-inch chunks sets the base for a great meal.

It’s all about keeping things simple here. Chopping the onion into 1-inch pieces adds that savory touch. Toss the sweet potatoes and onions with half the olive oil, half the salt, garlic powder, and chipotle powder or chili powder for bold flavor.

Spread the mixture on a lined sheet pan and bake for 20 minutes. This hands-off step lets the veggies get tender and caramelized. After that, push them to one side to make room for the rest.

Now, toss the broccoli with the remaining olive oil and salt. Add it to the pan for that extra crunch and nutrition. These steps build a balanced bowl full of roasted vegetables.

Place the chicken breasts on the pan and brush them with 1/4 cup of BBQ sauce. Bake for another 15 to 20 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked. This method keeps it juicy and packed with flavor. For more chicken ideas, baked chicken breast recipe offers great tips on perfect results.

Once done, remove from the oven and shred the chicken with two forks. Mix it with the remaining BBQ sauce for that pulled effect. Divide everything into three bowls and serve right away. The total prep time is just 10 minutes, with 35 minutes of cooking.
