Ingredients

2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and chopped into ½” chunks

1 large yellow onion, chopped into 1” pieces

1 tablespoon olive oil

¼ teaspoon salt, divided

½ teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon chipotle powder or chili powder

1 head broccoli, cut into florets

1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts

½ cup BBQ sauce, divided

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven: Set to 400°F (200°C).

  • Prepare the Vegetables: On a lined sheet pan, toss the sweet potatoes and onions with olive oil, ¼ teaspoon salt, garlic powder, and chipotle powder until evenly coated.

  • Roast the Vegetables: Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.

  • Add Broccoli and Chicken: Push the roasted vegetables to one side of the pan. Add the broccoli florets and chicken breasts to the other side. Brush the chicken with ¼ cup BBQ sauce.

  • Continue Roasting: Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the vegetables are tender.

  • Shred the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Shred the chicken using two forks and toss it with the remaining ¼ cup BBQ sauce.

  • Assemble the Bowls: Divide the roasted vegetables and shredded chicken among bowls. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • Spicy Kick: Add sliced jalapeños to the sheet pan before roasting for an extra layer of heat.

  • Vegetarian Option: Replace the chicken with chickpeas, tofu, or tempeh for a plant-based alternative.

  • Grain Base: Serve the chicken and vegetables over a bed of quinoa or brown rice for added texture and nutrition.

  • Additional Veggies: Add other vegetables like bell peppers, zucchini, or Brussels sprouts for extra flavor and variety.
