Ingredients
  

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup BBQ sauce (your preferred brand or homemade)

2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into 1-inch cubes

1 small red onion, finely chopped

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish, place the chicken breasts. Pour the BBQ sauce over the chicken, ensuring every piece is well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld (for a more robust flavor, marinate for up to 2 hours).

    Cook the Chicken: Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Take the chicken out of the marinade (set the marinade aside) and place it on the grill. Grill each side for about 6-7 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). In the last few minutes of grilling, brush the chicken with the reserved BBQ marinade to enhance its flavor. Once cooked, remove from heat and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing.

      Prepare the Hash: While the chicken is grilling, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced sweet potatoes to the skillet and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften and turn golden.

        Add the Vegetables: Stir in the chopped red onion and diced red bell pepper to the skillet with the sweet potatoes. Season with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Continue to sauté for an additional 5-7 minutes until the sweet potatoes are tender and slightly crispy, stirring occasionally.

          Serve: Slice the grilled BBQ chicken into strips and lay it over a generous portion of the sweet potato hash. Finish off the dish by garnishing with freshly chopped parsley, adding a vibrant touch and enhancing the flavors.

            Enjoy: Dive into your meal and savor the delightful combination of smoky BBQ chicken paired with the sweet and savory profile of sweet potatoes!
