Instructions
Creating BBQ Chicken Bowls with Sweet Potatoes and Coleslaw is easy if you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare Sweet Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
3. Roast Sweet Potatoes: Spread the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 25-30 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized, stirring halfway through.
4. Cook Chicken: While the sweet potatoes roast, heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
5. Grill Chicken: Cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked. Brush with BBQ sauce in the last few minutes of cooking to allow the sauce to caramelize.
6. Prepare Coleslaw: In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar (if using), salt, and pepper. Add the coleslaw mix and toss until well combined. Set aside.
7. Slice Chicken: Once the chicken is fully cooked, remove it from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes. Slice it into bite-sized pieces.
8. Assemble Bowls: In serving bowls, layer the roasted sweet potatoes, sliced BBQ chicken, and coleslaw.
9. Garnish: If desired, garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro for added color and flavor.
