These BBQ chicken bowls are a personal favorite because they hit every note. You get the sweetness from roasted potatoes, the crunch of fresh veggies, and that savory BBQ flavor we all love. It is the kind of meal that leaves you feeling full and happy after a busy day.

I find these are perfect for meal prepping on a Sunday. If you want to save time during the week, just roast your potatoes and cook your chicken ahead of schedule. When you are ready to eat, simply assemble the bowls and drizzle the dressing over the top.

Ingredients

  • 2 large chicken breasts, cubed
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce
  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup frozen corn, thawed
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 2 cups chopped romaine lettuce
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons BBQ sauce for the dressing
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

  2. 2

    Toss the diced sweet potatoes with olive oil and a pinch of salt on a baking sheet, then roast for 25 minutes until they are tender.

  3. 3

    While the potatoes roast, cook the cubed chicken in a skillet over medium heat until browned and cooked through.

  4. 4

    Stir the 1 cup of BBQ sauce into the chicken and let it simmer for two minutes to coat everything well.

  5. 5

    In a small bowl, mix the black beans, corn, and bell pepper together.

  6. 6

    Whisk the Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons of BBQ sauce, and parsley in a separate bowl to make your creamy ranch dressing.

  7. 7

    Assemble the bowls by layering the lettuce, chicken, sweet potatoes, and bean mixture, then finish with a generous drizzle of the BBQ ranch.

💡 Tips

Store the dressing separately from the greens if you are prepping these for later. This keeps your lettuce crisp until you are ready to serve. If you have leftovers, they keep well in the fridge for up to three days.
