Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Mixing bowl
  • Oven

Ingredients
  

  • 4 medium sweet potatoes
  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
  • 1 cup barbecue sauce
  • 4 green onions, thinly sliced
  • Salt and black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Pierce each sweet potato several times with a fork and place them on a baking sheet. Bake for 45 to 60 minutes until the flesh is soft when pierced with a knife.
  • While the sweet potatoes bake, place the shredded chicken in a mixing bowl. Add the barbecue sauce, a pinch of salt, and a few grinds of black pepper. Stir until the chicken is evenly coated.
  • Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven. Slice each one open lengthwise and gently fluff the inside with a fork to create space for the filling.
  • Spoon the barbecue chicken mixture into the center of each sweet potato. Finish by sprinkling the sliced green onions evenly over the top.

Notes

Use rotisserie chicken to keep prep minimal. If the barbecue sauce is very sweet, add a small pinch of salt to the chicken mixture to balance it. Leftovers reheat well in the microwave for one to two minutes, though the green onions are best added fresh right before serving.
