Ingredients

For the bowls

  • 1 Medium Sweet potato, cubed (about 150-170g)
  • 1 Tbsp Olive oil, divided
  • 1/2 Lb Chicken breast
  • 1/2 tsp Cumin
  • 1/4 tsp Garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp Onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp Chipotle chili powder
  • 1/4 tsp Paprika
  • Sea salt
  • 1/4 Cup Whole30 approved BBQ Sauce (I used Primal Kitchen Unsweetened)
  • 2 Medjool dates, sliced (omit if your BBQ sauce is sweetened)
  • 1 Medium Avocado, diced

For the pineapple salsa:

  • 1 1/4 Cup Pineapple, roughly chopped
  • 1/4 Cup Cilantro, diced
  • 2 Tbsp Red onion, minced
  • Juice of half a lime (plus more for serving)

Instructions

  • Heat your oven to 400 degrees.
  • Toss the sweet potato with 1/2 tbsp of the oil and spread onto a baking sheet. Bake for 20-30 mins, until fork tender.
  • Mix all the spices together in a bowl and coat the chicken breast, sprinkling with salt.
  • Heat the remaining 1/2 tbsp of oil in a medium, oven safe pan on high heat. Once hot, sear the chicken breast on both sides until golden brown, about 1 minute per side. Transfer to the oven and cooked until an instant read thermometer reads 165 degrees F, about 15-20 mins
  • While everything cooks, place the bbq sauce and sliced date in a microwave safe bowl and microwave until hot, about 1 minute. Place into a SMALL food processor (mine is 3 cups) and process until the date is broken down (a few little chunks is ok.) You will have to stop and scrape the sides down often.
  • Stir together all the pineapple salsa ingredients.

TO SERVE:

  • Dice the chicken and divide between two bowls, followed by the sweet potatoes, pineapple salsa and bbq sauce. Finally, dice the avocado and divide between bowls.
  • Mix it all together and DEVOUR!
