BBQ Chicken Sweet Potato is a cozy, adaptable weeknight meal combining smoky, tangy flavors with the natural sweetness of roasted sweet potatoes. This one-dish wonder is hearty and perfect for families, leaving your kitchen smelling like a comforting Sunday dinner.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) or set your air fryer to 180°C (356°F).
In a bowl, toss the sweet potato cubes with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
Spread sweet potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the oven for about 25 minutes until tender and slightly crispy. If using an air fryer, cook for 15-20 minutes.
Meanwhile, cook the chicken in a separate pan or use pre-cooked chicken. If desired, shred cooked chicken with two forks.
Once the sweet potatoes are done, combine the shredded chicken with BBQ sauce in a bowl.
Serve the BBQ chicken over the roasted sweet potatoes and add your favorite toppings like fresh herbs or sliced onions.
Notes
Tip: For extra crispy sweet potato edges, spread them out in a single layer and avoid overcrowding the pan.
