For the Bowl Assembly:

Instructions

Make the BBQ Chicken

    Preheat Oven or Grill

    • Set your oven or grill to 400°F (200°C).

    Season the Chicken

    • Rub chicken breasts with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, salt, and pepper.

    Cook the Chicken

    • In a skillet or grill pan, cook the chicken over medium heat for 5–6 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked (internal temp should reach 165°F). In the last minute of cooking, brush each breast with BBQ sauce, allowing it to caramelize slightly.

    Rest and Slice

    • Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.

    Roast the Sweet Potatoes

      Toss and Season

      • In a bowl, toss diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper.

      Roast to Perfection

      • Spread on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and tender with crisp edges.

      Assemble the Bowls

        Build the Base

        • Scoop quinoa or brown rice into the bottom of each bowl.

        Add the Veggies

        • Top with roasted sweet potatoes, corn, diced red bell pepper, and avocado slices.

        Top with Chicken

        • Add sliced BBQ chicken right on top.

        Garnish and Drizzle

        • Sprinkle with fresh cilantro and drizzle with additional BBQ sauce if desired.
