BBQ Sweet Potato Bowls

Ingredients

• 2 sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed

• 1 tbsp olive oil

• 1 tsp each:

  • Smoked paprika

  • Salt

  • Pepper

  • Citrus seasoning blend or chili lime seasoning

• 1 bag microwaveable green beans

• ½ lemon

• Chicken tenders (raw)

• Panko breadcrumbs

• 1 egg

• Parmesan cheese (optional)

• Seasonings of choice

• BBQ sauce (homemade or store-bought)

  • I recommend Primal Kitchen brand

Instructions

1. Prepare the sweet potatoes: Toss the cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and citrus/chili lime seasoning. Set aside.

2. Bread the chicken: Whisk the egg in a bowl. In a separate bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs with Parmesan (if using) and your preferred seasonings. Dip each chicken tender into the egg, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture. (Shortcut: You can use pre-made frozen chicken tenders if you are short on time, I love the Real Good brand.)

3. Cook:

   • Place the sweet potatoes and breaded chicken tenders in an air fryer. Cook at 400°F for 15 minutes.

   • After 15 minutes, remove the chicken and continue cooking the sweet potatoes for another 5 minutes until crispy and tender.

4. Steam the green beans: Pierce the bag of green beans with a fork and microwave according to package instructions (typically 4 minutes).

5. Assemble the bowls: Divide the sweet potatoes, chicken tenders, and green beans between two bowls. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top and drizzle with BBQ sauce.

6. Enjoy!
