Instructions
Creating BBQ Chicken Stuffed Sweet Potatoes is simple with these clear, step-by-step instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes. Pierce each potato several times with a fork to allow steam to escape.
3. Bake the Potatoes: Place the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet and drizzle lightly with olive oil. Bake for 45 minutes, or until fork-tender.
4. Cook the Chicken: While the potatoes are baking, you can heat the shredded chicken in a saucepan on low. Add the BBQ sauce, stirring until the chicken is coated and warmed through.
5. Stuff the Potatoes: Once the sweet potatoes are cooked, carefully take them out of the oven. Cut each potato lengthwise and gently fluff the insides with a fork.
6. Add the Chicken: Spoon the BBQ chicken mixture generously into each sweet potato.
7. Top with Cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the chicken-filled sweet potatoes.
8. Melt the Cheese: Return the loaded sweet potatoes to the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
9. Garnish: Remove from the oven and let cool for a minute. Top with chopped green onions, sour cream, or any other preferred toppings.
It’s as easy as that! You’re just a few moments away from enjoying this incredible meal.
