# What You'll Need:
→ Sweet Potatoes
01 - 4 medium sweet potatoes, scrubbed
→ Chicken Filling
02 - 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken breast
03 - 1 cup honey BBQ sauce
04 - 1 tablespoon honey
05 - 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
06 - 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
07 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
→ Toppings
08 - 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, optional
09 - 1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
10 - 1/4 cup fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped
11 - 1/4 cup sliced green onions
12 - 1/4 cup sour cream, optional
# How To Make It:
01 - Preheat oven to 400°F. Prick each sweet potato several times with a fork. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 40-50 minutes until tender when pierced with a fork.
02 - While sweet potatoes bake, combine shredded chicken, honey BBQ sauce, honey, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt in a medium bowl. Mix well to coat chicken evenly and set aside.
03 - Once sweet potatoes are cooked and cool enough to handle, cut lengthwise down the center without cutting all the way through. Gently fluff the flesh with a fork to create a cavity for stuffing.
04 - Spoon honey BBQ chicken mixture into each sweet potato, dividing evenly. Sprinkle with cheddar cheese if using.
05 - Return stuffed sweet potatoes to the oven for 5-7 minutes until cheese is melted and filling is hot.
06 - Remove from oven and garnish with red onion, cilantro or parsley, green onions, and a dollop of sour cream if desired. Serve immediately.
