# What You Need:
→ Sweet Potatoes
01 - 4 medium sweet potatoes, scrubbed
02 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
03 - 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
→ Chicken Filling
04 - 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
05 - 1/2 cup honey BBQ sauce, gluten-free
06 - 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
07 - 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
→ Toppings
08 - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
09 - 1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions
10 - 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, optional
# Steps:
01 - Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Rub each sweet potato with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Prick potatoes several times with a fork to allow steam to escape.
03 - Roast on the prepared baking sheet for 40 to 50 minutes until fork-tender.
04 - While sweet potatoes bake, combine shredded chicken, honey BBQ sauce, smoked paprika, and garlic powder in a bowl. Mix until well incorporated.
05 - Once sweet potatoes are cool enough to handle, slice each lengthwise and gently scoop out flesh, leaving approximately 1/4-inch border to maintain structural integrity.
06 - Add scooped sweet potato flesh to the chicken mixture and stir until fully combined.
07 - Distribute BBQ chicken mixture evenly among sweet potato boats. Top each with shredded cheddar cheese.
08 - Return stuffed sweet potatoes to oven and bake for 5 to 7 minutes until cheese is melted.
09 - Garnish with green onions and cilantro before serving.
