# Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken for 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Brush with BBQ sauce in the last minute of cooking, allowing it to caramelize. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into strips.

In a large bowl, toss the diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread the sweet potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and lightly caramelized.

In each bowl, layer the quinoa or brown rice as the base. Top with roasted sweet potatoes, corn, red bell pepper, and avocado slices. Arrange the sliced BBQ chicken on top. Drizzle with extra BBQ sauce and garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve immediately.
