Easy BBQ Chicken Stuffed Sweet Potatoes
These hearty sweet potatoes are filled with tangy barbecue chicken and creamy toppings for a perfect meal.
recipesbynani.comThere 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

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.
