Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes peeled and diced into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce your favorite brand
  • 1 cup corn canned or frozen
  • 1 cup black beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 avocado diced
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 lime cut into wedges

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet. Spread them out in a single layer and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized, stirring halfway through.
  2. While the sweet potatoes are roasting, season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes.
  3. Once the chicken has rested, shred it using two forks and mix it with the BBQ sauce until well coated.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the roasted sweet potatoes, corn, black beans, and BBQ chicken. Toss gently to mix.
  5. Serve the mixture in bowls, topped with diced avocado, chopped cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice.
