There is something so comforting about a baked sweet potato loaded with savory toppings. This meal is a favorite in my house because it comes together so quickly when you use rotisserie chicken.

My best tip is to prick the sweet potatoes all over with a fork before baking. This helps them cook through evenly and prevents them from bursting in the oven.

🧺 Ingredients

4 medium sweet potatoes
2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
1/2 cup barbecue sauce
1 ripe avocado, sliced
1/4 cup pickled red onions
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste

👩‍🍳Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
2
Wash the sweet potatoes and prick them several times with a fork.
3
Place the potatoes on a baking sheet and bake for about 45 to 60 minutes until they are soft when squeezed.
4
While the potatoes bake, mix the shredded chicken and barbecue sauce in a small bowl.
5
Once the potatoes are done, slice them open down the center and fluff the inside with a fork.
6
Spoon the barbecue chicken mixture into each potato.
7
Top with avocado slices, pickled onions, and a sprinkle of cilantro before serving.

💡 Tips

Store any leftover chicken mixture in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. If you like a little heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the chicken mixture before stuffing your potatoes.
