Ingredients

For the sweet potatoes:

  • 4 small sweet potatoes
  • 2 cups shredded chicken, we use rotisserie
  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce, can use store bought sauce
  • 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese, or cheddar

For the toppings:

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with foil. Prick the sweet potatoes with a fork, place them on the prepared sheet, and roast for 40 to 50 minutes, or until they are fork tender.
  • Meanwhile, in a medium bowl combine the chicken and BBQ sauce. Stir until well coated.
  • Take the sweet potatoes out of the oven and carefully slice them open using a fork and knife, then fluff the insides. Spoon barbecue chicken evenly into each potato and sprinkle with cheese.
  • Broil on high for 2 to 3 minutes, until the cheese is melted and lightly browned. Remove from the oven and top with corn salsa, pickled red onions, avocado, cilantro, or toppings or your choice. Serve immediately.
