Ingredients

Scale

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
1 cup barbecue sauce
3 medium sweet potatoes (about 2 lbs), peeled and cubed
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
Fresh herbs (cilantro or parsley) for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Toss the cubed sweet potatoes in olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated. Spread them in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Roast the sweet potatoes for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through until golden brown and fork-tender.
While they roast, heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper and grill for 6-7 minutes on each side until cooked through.
Brush both sides of the cooked chicken with barbecue sauce and grill for an additional minute on each side to caramelize.
Slice the grilled chicken and serve it over the roasted sweet potatoes. Drizzle with remaining barbecue sauce and garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
