Ingredients
4large sweet potatoes
3chicken breasts
1bottle of your favorite BBQ sauce
1container of goat cheese crumbles
1avocado – sliced
crushed blue corn tortilla chips
2roma tomatoes – diced
1fresh jalapeno – sliced
1bunch chopped cilantro
Optional: salsa verde – recipe link is in my post!
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400F and begin prepping the sweet potatoes – scrub the sweet potatoes with a clean brush or washcloth to remove excess dirt from the skin. Rub the exterior of each potato with olive oil and sprinkle with kosher salt. Place in a glass baking dish and cook uncovered for 45 minutes.
BBQ Chicken – Slow cooker method: Place the chicken and your favorite BBQ sauce in a crockpot and cook on low for 4 hours or until chicken shreds apart easily. Oven method: Preheat your oven to 275F and place chicken breasts in a glass baking dish. Pour the BBQ sauce over the top and wrap tightly with aluminum foil. Slow roast in the oven for 2 hours or until the chicken shreds apart easily (both methods can be done a day in advance).
To assemble – take the cooked sweet potato and split down the middle. Fluff the orange flesh and then stuff with the shredded BBQ chicken.
Top each potato with goat cheese, diced tomatoes, sliced avocado, fresh chopped cilantro, fresh sliced jalapenos, and crushed blue corn tortilla chips.
