BBQ Chicken Stuffed Sweet Potatoes

Ingredients

  • 4 medium sweet potatoes
  • 1 rotisserie chicken, shredded
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce
  • 3 cups MJ's Famous Coleslaw
  • 1/2 cup pickled red onions, for topping
  • fresh cilantro, to be used as garnish

Instructions

Cook the Sweet Potatoes

  • Preheat your oven to 425ยบ. While your oven is heating, poke holes in sweet potatoes all over with a fork to allow steam to vent.
  • Rub a small amount of your preferred cooking oil (I used avocado here) on the outsides of the potatoes if you want to eat the skin.
  • Place prepared potatoes on a parchment paper-lined cookie sheet, transfer to oven, and bake until potatoes are tender, ~45-50 minutes.
  • While the sweet potatoes are in the oven, prep the rest of the ingredients for mise en place. Combine shredded rotisserie chicken and BBQ sauce of your choice to a saucepan over medium heat and bring to simmer. Lower heat and allow the BBQ chicken mixture to warm while you are waiting for the sweet potatoes to cook.
  • Once sweet potatoes are cooked through, remove them from oven, let cool a bit, then slice down the middle long-ways to split the tops open.

Assemble the BBQ Chicken Stuffed Sweet Potatoes

  • Top each split sweet potato with a serving of the BBQ chicken mixture.
  • Next, add your coleslaw and red onions.
  • Garnish with cilantro, if desired. Enjoy!
