Ingredients
- 6 sweet potatoes
- 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cups BBQ Sauce
- 1 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese
- ½ red onion, diced
- 4 Tablespoons cilantro, chopped
Instructions
- Scrub the outside of each potato and remove any blemishes.
- Poke the outside of each sweet potato multiple times with a fork then place on a baking sheet and place on the middle oven rack.
- Heat oven to 425 degrees and bake for 45 minutes, or until a fork easily presses into the center.
- Meanwhile, spray a 9 x 13 inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- Place chicken breasts in prepared pan and cover with BBQ sauce.
- Bake at 375 degrees for 25-30 minutes, or place in the oven with the sweet potatoes for the last 20 minutes of cooking. Make sure chicken is cooked all the way through.
- Remove chicken and sweet potatoes from the oven.
- Shred cooked BBQ chicken.
- Cut each sweet potato down the middle and fill with shredded chicken.
- Divide mozzarella cheese, red onion and chopped cilantro evenly between each potato and put on top of each baked potato.
- Broil on high for 2-3 minutes, or until cheese is completely melted.
- Serve hot.
Notes
- After the chicken was done cooking, I shredded it but you could also dice it if you prefer.
- If you are short on time, you could easily use shredded rotisserie chicken and toss it in BBQ sauce and you are good to go.
