In a medium size bowl combine the sweet potato cubes, 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper. Cook the sweet potatoes by air frying them or baking. To air fry, preheat an air fryer to 380 F for 5 minutes. Air fry the sweet potatoes for a total of 15 minutes, until they’re easily pierced with a fork. Flip halfway through cooking. To bake: preheat the oven to 400F. Place on a baking sheet, cook for 25-30 minutes until they're easy to pierce with a fork; flip halfway through cooking.
Start on the chicken while the sweet potatoes are cooking. They can be air fried or pan fried. To air fry: Preheat an air fryer to 400 F for 5 mins. Brush both sides with the other 1 tablespoon of olive oil and then liberally add chicken rub to both sides. Air fry for 4 mins, brush on BBQ sauce and then continue air frying for 3-4 minutes until cooked through to 165 F. To bake: preheat oven to 400 F. Brush both sides of the chicken with olive oil and sprinkle both sides with chicken rub. Bake on a baking sheet for 10+ minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 F.
While the chicken is cooking start on the coleslaw. In a small size bowl combine all of the dressing ingredients. Add the coleslaw shredded cabbage mix to a medium size bowl and stir in the dressing.
Assemble the bowls by dividing the coleslaw, sweet potatoes, and chicken tenders between 4 bowls. You can either serve 2 whole chicken tenders per bowl or cut them into slices.
Garnish with healthy toppings like avocado cubes, cilantro, pumpkin seeds, and pickle slices. Enjoy!
Notes
For a lower carb option, substitute the sweet potatoes with roasted radishes, broccoli, butternut squash, or cauliflower, or cooked cauliflower rice. Instead of BBQ sliced chicken you can also use shredded chicken mixed with BBQ sauce.To save time you can use packaged coleslaw with dressing included or use precooked rotisserie chicken.
