Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium sweet potatoes
  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
  • 1 cup your favorite BBQ sauce
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings: Greek yogurt or sour cream, chopped green onions

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  2. Prick the sweet potatoes several times with a fork.
  3. Bake the sweet potatoes directly on the oven rack for 45 to 60 minutes, or until tender when squeezed.
  4. While the potatoes bake, prepare the BBQ chicken. In a medium saucepan, combine the shredded chicken, BBQ sauce, water, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, and garlic powder.
  5. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the chicken well. Season with salt and pepper.
  6. Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven. Carefully slice each potato lengthwise down the middle, being careful not to cut all the way through. Gently fluff the inside flesh with a fork.
  7. Spoon the BBQ pulled chicken mixture generously into each sweet potato.
  8. Add your desired toppings, like a dollop of Greek yogurt and a sprinkle of green onions. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • You can use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken to speed up the process.
  • Adjust the amount of BBQ sauce based on your preference for sweetness or tanginess.
  • For extra smoky flavor, add a tiny dash of liquid smoke to the chicken mixture.
