Ingredients
  

2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast

1 cup BBQ sauce (your favorite brand or homemade)

1 teaspoon olive oil

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup corn, fresh or canned

1 bell pepper, diced (any color)

1 avocado, sliced

1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (for garnish)

Lime wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Cook the Sweet Potatoes: Toss the cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast for about 25-30 minutes, or until they're fork-tender and slightly caramelized, stirring halfway through.

      Prepare the Chicken: While the sweet potatoes are roasting, heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides. Add them to the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is golden and cooked through.

        BBQ the Chicken: Pour the BBQ sauce over the cooked chicken, reducing the heat to low. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes, turning the chicken to coat it evenly in the sauce. Once nicely glazed, remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing or shredding.

          Sauté the Veggies: In the same skillet, add the diced bell pepper and corn. Sauté over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until softened.

            Assemble the Bowls: In a bowl, layer the roasted sweet potatoes, BBQ chicken, sautéed bell pepper, and corn. Top with sliced avocado and garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve with lime wedges on the side for added zest.
