How do I make this BBQ chicken sweet potato bowl from scratch?

Start by roasting cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil at 400°F for 25–30 minutes. While they roast, mix cooked shredded chicken with BBQ sauce. Warm your corn and black beans, then assemble the bowl with avocado, red onion, cilantro, and lime. It’s that simple—and takes just 40 minutes from start to finish.

Can I meal prep this bbq chicken sweet potato bowl?

Yes! Roast sweet potatoes and prepare your BBQ chicken in advance. Store everything in separate containers. Assemble when ready to eat, or pack into individual containers for ready-to-go lunches. Just reheat and top with fresh avocado and lime.

What toppings go well with a bbq chicken sweet potato bowl?

Classic toppings include avocado, red onion, cilantro, and lime. For extra texture and punch, try pickled jalapeños, slaw, cheese, or a drizzle of hot honey. The goal is contrast—something creamy, something bright, something crunchy.

Is this bowl gluten-free or dairy-free?

Yes! The core bbq chicken sweet potato bowl is naturally gluten- and dairy-free. Just make sure your BBQ sauce is labeled gluten-free and avoid cheese-based toppings if dairy-free is your goal.
