Air Fryer BBQ Chicken & Sweet Potato Fries Bowl

If you're looking for an easy weeknight meal, this air fryer BBQ chicken sweet potato bowl has you covered! With only 4 ingredients, dinner can be ready in 15 minutes or less!

Ok, gentlemen....and ladies. Well really, anyone who wants a reasonably healthy and flavorful dinner ready in 15 minutes... This recipe is for you.

And you will only need 4 ingredients! That's right- you heard me!

One of the reasons I began teaching cooking classes was due to my college friend, Chris. Funny, smart, nice guy...but he didn't know how to cook. He literally survived on Subway and bagel sandwiches. What?!? How?!?

Now, I LOVE to cook; but, I am a big believer that anyone and everyone can learn. Before Chris, I just assumed you figured it out, when it sort of became...necessary. Apparently, I was very wrong. 

So, if you are anything like Chris or even if you regularly prepare four-course meals, sometimes you just need something simple, quick, and healthy that doesn't require Uber Eats or a drive-thru. I got you.

The timing of everything may vary a bit, based on brand and size of the ingredients; but, 10 minutes works perfectly for Alexia brand sweet potato waffle fries. Plus, seasoned fries means MORE FLAVOR, without any extra ingredients! We can maximize without compromising.
