Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Begin by seasoning boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs with your favorite BBQ sauce, ensuring they are evenly coated. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes while you preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Peel and dice sweet potatoes into bite-sized pieces, toss them in a bowl with olive oil and seasonings. Spread evenly on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through.
  3. Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium heat and add the marinated chicken. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Let rest for a few minutes before slicing.
  4. Assemble bowls by placing a base layer of cooked rice, quinoa, or fresh greens. Arrange sliced BBQ chicken on top, followed by roasted sweet potatoes, corn, and black beans.
  5. Drizzle with extra BBQ sauce or your preferred dressing before serving to enhance flavors.
