Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce (plus extra for serving)

  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika

  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • 2 cups shredded cabbage or coleslaw mix

  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

  • 1 tsp honey

  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional)

  • Cooked brown rice or quinoa, for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. Toss diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Roast on a baking sheet for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway.

  3. While potatoes roast, season chicken with salt and pepper. Grill or pan-cook over medium heat until fully cooked (about 6–7 minutes per side), then brush with BBQ sauce and let rest. Slice before serving.

  4. In a bowl, toss cabbage or slaw mix with apple cider vinegar and honey.

  5. Assemble bowls: add base (rice or quinoa), top with sweet potatoes, BBQ chicken, slaw, and sprinkle cilantro. Drizzle with extra BBQ sauce if desired.

Notes

  • For a low-carb version, omit the rice or substitute with cauliflower rice.

  • You can use chicken thighs instead of breasts for more flavor.

  • Slaw can be prepped ahead of time for quicker assembly.
