BBQ Chicken Stuffed Sweet Potatoes: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe

  • Total Time: 36 minute

Ingredients

– 4 medium sweet potatoes
– 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
– 1 cup BBQ sauce (your choice)
– 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
– 1/2 cup green onions, chopped
– 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt or sour cream for topping (optional)
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Olive oil

Instructions

Preparing BBQ Chicken Stuffed Sweet Potatoes is simple and fun if you follow these easy steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare Sweet Potatoes: Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly, then poke holes in them with a fork. Drizzle olive oil over them and sprinkle with salt.
3. Bake Sweet Potatoes: Place the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet and bake for about 30-40 minutes or until they are tender (a fork should easily pierce them).
4. Shred Chicken: While the sweet potatoes are baking, if your chicken isn’t pre-cooked, roast or grill it until fully cooked. Shred the chicken using two forks.
5. Mix Chicken and BBQ Sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with your choice of BBQ sauce. Stir until the chicken is thoroughly coated.
6. Remove Sweet Potatoes: Once baked, remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly.
7. Stuff the Potatoes: Carefully slice each sweet potato lengthwise, creating a pocket. Use a fork to fluff the insides a bit. Fill each potato with the BBQ chicken mixture.
8. Add Cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese generously over the stuffed potatoes.
9. Bake Again: Return the stuffed sweet potatoes to the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
10. Garnish: Remove from the oven and top with chopped green onions. Add a dollop of Greek yogurt or sour cream if desired.

These steps will guide you in creating a dish that is not only delicious but also visually appealing and satisfying!
