Ingredients
Scale
4 pieces of chicken breasts
1 cup of BBQ sauce
2 large sweet potatoes
2 tablespoons of olive oil
1 teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon of pepper
1 cup of diced avocado
¼ cup of fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons of lemon juice
Instructions
Begin by marinating the chicken. In a bowl, combine chicken breasts with ½ cup of BBQ sauce, olive oil, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Mix well, ensuring the chicken is fully coated. Cover and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes for optimal flavor infusion.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). This ensures even cooking while getting those perfect grill marks. If you’re using charcoal, allow the coals to turn white and ashy.
While the chicken marinates, wash and peel the sweet potatoes. Cut them into bite-sized cubes. Toss in a bowl with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the oven at 400°F for 25-30 minutes, or until tender.
Once the grill is ready, place the marinated chicken breasts on it. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, brushing with remaining BBQ sauce during the last few minutes of cooking. Make sure the internal temperature reaches 165°F for safe consumption.
For each serving, start with a base of roasted sweet potatoes. Slice the grilled chicken and place it on top. Garnish with diced avocado and fresh cilantro, adding an extra drizzle of BBQ sauce if desired.
