  • Author: Luna
  • Total Time: 1 hour

Ingredients

– 4 medium sweet potatoes
– 2 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works great)
– 1 cup BBQ sauce (choose your favorite variety)

– 1 tablespoon olive oil

– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Creating BBQ Chicken Sweet Potato can be straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Wash and pat dry the sweet potatoes. Prick them several times with a fork.
3. Place sweet potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and rub with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
4. Bake in the preheated oven for about 40-45 minutes or until tender, turning halfway through.
5. While the sweet potatoes are baking, combine shredded chicken and BBQ sauce in a bowl. Mix until the chicken is well-coated.
6. Once the sweet potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
7. Cut the sweet potatoes lengthwise down the center, creating a pocket.
8. Fill each sweet potato with the BBQ chicken mixture, pressing down gently to fit.
9. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top of each filled sweet potato.
10. Return to the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
11. Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped green onions or cilantro, if desired.
