A smoky, cheesy one-pan meal combining crispy roasted sweet potatoes, tender BBQ chicken, and golden cheddar. Perfect for weeknights or gatherings!


Ingredients

Scale

2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed
1 cup BBQ sauce (alcohol-free)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 medium onion, sliced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper


Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C)
Toss sweet potato cubes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for 20 minutes, flipping halfway.
Sauté onion and garlic in the skillet until tender. Add BBQ sauce and simmer for 5 minutes.

Customize with jalapeños, corn, or vegan cheese.
Cast iron skillet works best for crispy edges.
