Description

BBQ Chicken Stuffed Sweet Potatoes

Ingredients

  • 4 medium sweet potatoes

  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie works great)

  • 1 cup BBQ sauce (your favorite brand or homemade)

  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or mozzarella)

  • ½ small red onion, thinly sliced (optional)

  • ½ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt (for topping)

  • 2 green onions, chopped

  • Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)

  • Salt & pepper, to taste


Instructions

  1. Bake the sweet potatoes:
    Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Scrub sweet potatoes, pierce with a fork, and place on a baking sheet. Roast 45–60 minutes, until tender when pierced with a knife.

  2. Prepare chicken filling:
    In a bowl, toss shredded chicken with BBQ sauce until well coated. Warm gently in a skillet or microwave.

  3. Assemble:
    Once sweet potatoes are done, carefully slice them open lengthwise. Fluff the insides slightly with a fork and season lightly with salt and pepper.

  4. Stuff:
    Fill each potato with BBQ chicken, sprinkle with shredded cheese, and return to the oven for 5–7 minutes until cheese melts.

  5. Finish & serve:
    Top with red onions, sour cream, green onions, and cilantro. Serve hot.
