# Ingredients:

→ BBQ Chicken Prep

01 - 4 chicken breasts, no skin or bones
02 - 1 tbsp olive oil
03 - 1 tsp paprika (smoked)
04 - 1 tsp garlic powder
05 - 1 tsp onion powder
06 - 1 tsp chili powder
07 - Salt and pepper, adjust to taste
08 - 1/2 cup of your go-to BBQ sauce

→ Sweet Potatoes

09 - 2 big sweet potatoes, peeled and chopped
10 - 1 tbsp olive oil
11 - 1 tsp cumin (ground)
12 - 1 tsp paprika
13 - Add salt and pepper to preference

→ Toppings & Base

14 - 1 cup brown rice or quinoa, cooked
15 - 1 cup corn (use fresh or frozen)
16 - 1 bell pepper (red), diced into chunks
17 - 1 avocado, cut into slices
18 - Fresh cilantro for decoration
19 - A bit of BBQ sauce for extra drizzle

# Instructions:

01 - Get your oven ready by setting it to 400°F (200°C).
02 - Mix olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Rub this mix all over your chicken.
03 - Place a skillet or grill pan on medium heat. Cook the chicken for a few minutes on each side (about 5-6 mins per side) until it's fully done. In the last minute, brush on BBQ sauce to caramelize.
04 - Set the chicken aside for a few minutes before cutting it into strips.
05 - In a big bowl, mix the diced sweet potatoes with cumin, paprika, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
06 - Spread the coated sweet potatoes on a baking tray. Roast them at 400°F, flipping halfway, until tender and caramelized (about 25-30 mins).
07 - Start with a base of quinoa or rice in each serving bowl. Add layers of roasted sweet potatoes, corn, red bell pepper, and avocado slices. Top with the BBQ chicken strips.
08 - Sprinkle fresh cilantro and drizzle a little extra BBQ sauce on top. Serve right away.

# Notes:

01 - For easy meal prep, store each bowl ingredient separately till you're ready to eat.
02 - Grill the chicken on an outdoor BBQ for extra smokiness.
03 - You can save time by grabbing pre-cooked rice or quinoa from the store.
04 - Replace the chicken with tofu or chickpeas for a meatless option.
05 - To save more time, cook the sweet potatoes and chicken at the same time.
