Ingredients
4 small sweet potatoes, scrubbed and dried
2 chicken breasts (~1 lb), pounded to even thickness
Homemade seasoned salt (or your favorite blend)
BBQ sauce (your favorite variety)
4 oz smoked cheddar cheese, shredded
Toppings:
Minced red onion
Chopped cilantro
Chopped avocado
Mild pepper rings
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Prick sweet potatoes with a fork and bake directly on oven rack for 40–50 minutes, until tender.
While potatoes bake, season chicken with seasoned salt. Grill or sear in a skillet over medium heat until cooked through (about 5–7 minutes per side). Let rest, then shred.
Toss shredded chicken with BBQ sauce to coat.
Slice sweet potatoes open and gently mash the inside with a fork. Fill with BBQ chicken, sprinkle with smoked cheddar, and return to oven for 5–7 minutes to melt cheese.
