Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 2 cups shredded boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup BBQ sauce (homemade or store-bought)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- Optional: dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a baking dish with parchment paper or nonstick spray.
- Place sweet potatoes in the baking dish and bake for about 45 minutes until tender; they should be easily pierced with a fork.
- While sweet potatoes bake, shred cooked chicken (or use rotisserie chicken). In a bowl, mix shredded chicken with BBQ sauce until well-coated.
- Once baked, slice sweet potatoes open lengthwise without cutting through. Fluff insides with a fork and spoon in BBQ chicken mixture. Top with shredded cheddar cheese.
- Return stuffed potatoes to the oven for an additional 10-15 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from oven, sprinkle sliced green onions on top, and drizzle with extra BBQ sauce if desired.
