BBQ Chicken & Sweet Potato
Cook time: 30 minutes
Smoky BBQ-glazed chicken breast with roasted sweet potato wedges and corn. A crowd-pleaser with no exotic ingredients — great for the whole family.
NOTES: Everything roasts at the same temperature so you can run one oven with two trays simultaneously. Baste the chicken with a second layer of BBQ sauce in the last 5 minutes for a stickier glaze.
Ingredients
Chicken
- 2 kg (4.4 lb) boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 300 g (1¼ cups) BBQ sauce, divided
- 1 tsp (4 g) smoked paprika
- 1 tsp (4 g) garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Sweet Potatoes
- 2 kg (4.4 lb) sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into wedges
- 2 Tbsp (30 ml) olive oil
- 1 tsp (4 g) smoked paprika
- 1 tsp (6 g) salt
- ½ tsp (1 g) black pepper
Corn
- 800 g (about 5 cups) frozen corn
- 1 Tbsp (15 ml) olive oil
- ½ tsp (2 g) salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 200 °C / 400 °F. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Season chicken with smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Brush generously with 200 g of the BBQ sauce. Place on the first baking sheet.
- Toss sweet potato wedges with olive oil, paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread on the second baking sheet in a single layer.
- Place both trays in the oven. Roast 20 min, then add corn to any empty space on the sweet potato tray, drizzle with olive oil and salt. Brush chicken with remaining 100 g BBQ sauce. Roast a further 8–10 min until chicken reaches 74 °C / 165 °F internally and sweet potatoes are tender and caramelized at the edges.
- Rest chicken 5 min then slice. Portion into 10 containers: chicken (~200 g), sweet potato wedges (~200 g), and corn (~80 g). Refrigerate up to 5 days.
