Ingredients
600g boneless skinless chicken breast, cubed into 1-inch pieces
600g sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into ½-inch cubes
2 cups broccoli florets
½ red onion, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
½ cup low-sugar BBQ sauce (no added sugar)
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C)
Toss sweet potato cubes, broccoli, and red onion with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper on a parchment-lined baking sheet
Roast for 25 minutes, until sweet potatoes are caramelized and broccoli is tender
Meanwhile, cook chicken cubes on a separate baking sheet for 20-25 minutes until fully cooked
Drizzle BBQ sauce over chicken cubes and roast for 5-10 minutes for a glossy finish
Assemble bowls with roasted sweet potato mixture, BBQ chicken, and any optional toppings (e.g., avocado, lime, extra greens)
Notes
Use a glass baking dish for even heat distribution
Roast sweet potatoes first for 15 minutes before adding chicken for extra depth
Substitute BBQ sauce with olive oil and apple cider vinegar for a lighter version
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days
