  • Salt and pepper to taste

BBQ Chicken Mixture:

  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 1/2 cup barbecue sauce

Toppings:

  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and pierce the sweet potatoes with a fork. Rub them lightly with olive oil and place on a baking sheet. Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until tender.

  4. Final Bake: Return the stuffed sweet potatoes to the oven for 5 minutes until the cheese melts.
  5. Serve: Remove from the oven and top with a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt and sprinkle with green onions. Serve hot.
