Honey BBQ Chicken & Roasted Sweet Potatoes

Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 35 min
Servings: 8
Sticky honey BBQ chicken tenderloins with roasted sweet potatoes. High protein, sheet-pan friendly meal prep.

NOTES:

  • Cut sweet potatoes around 3/4-inch cubes so they finish in the same timeframe as the chicken.
  • Most sugar-free BBQ sauces are a little thin/tart — the honey balances it. Skip if you want it strictly sugar-free.
  • If your tenderloins are thick, give them an extra 3-5 min. Internal temp 165°F.
  • Broiling at the end is what gives you those caramelized sticky edges — don't skip it.
  • Two sheet pans is mandatory — crowding = steaming.

Ingredients

Chicken

Sweet Potatoes

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Line two sheet pans with parchment or foil.
  2. Toss sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, and paprika on one sheet pan. Spread in a single layer. Roast for 15 minutes.
  3. While potatoes roast, whisk together BBQ sauce, honey, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and olive oil. Reserve about 1/3 of the sauce in a separate bowl for glazing later. Toss chicken in the remaining sauce.
  4. Pull the sweet potatoes out, flip/toss them, and push to one side. Lay the chicken on the second sheet pan in a single layer. Put both pans back in the oven and roast for 15 minutes.
  5. Brush or spoon the reserved sauce over the chicken. Switch oven to broil (high) and broil 3-5 minutes until the sauce is caramelized and sticky. Watch closely — sugar-free sauces can still burn.
  6. Let chicken rest 5 minutes. Divide chicken and sweet potatoes into 8 containers. Cool uncovered 10-15 min before sealing. Keeps 4-5 days.
