# What You’ll Need to Cook:
→ Main
01 -
4 medium sweet potatoes
02 -
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
03 -
240 ml BBQ sauce
04 -
Salt, to taste
05 -
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
→ Optional Toppings
06 -
Sour cream
07 -
Sliced green onions
08 -
Grated cheese
09 -
Sliced jalapeños
# Steps to Prepare:
01 -
Preheat oven to 200°C. Scrub sweet potatoes thoroughly and pierce several times with a fork. Arrange on a baking sheet and roast for 45–50 minutes, or until completely tender when pierced with a knife.
02 -
While potatoes bake, poach chicken breasts in simmering water or chicken broth for 15–20 minutes until fully cooked. Alternatively, roast for additional texture. Transfer to a plate and shred using two forks. Season with salt and pepper.
03 -
In a bowl, mix shredded chicken with BBQ sauce until thoroughly coated. For a hot, juicy filling, heat the mixture in a pan for a few minutes on the stove.
04 -
Slice baked sweet potatoes lengthwise and gently mash the flesh with a fork. Fill generously with the BBQ chicken mixture.
05 -
Add preferred toppings such as cheese, sour cream, green onions, or jalapeños. For melted cheese, briefly place under the broiler for 2–3 minutes until bubbly. Serve immediately.
# Extra Cooking Tips:
01 -
Microwaving the sweet potatoes for 8–10 minutes can save time; texture may be softer than oven-baked.
