Ingredients
4 medium Sweet potato
1.5 cups Cooked chicken-shredded
0.33 cup BBQ sauce
1 tbsp Butter
1.5 cups Cheddar cheese-grated
100 gram Cream Cheese-room temp
2 tsp Mexican seasoning-or more to taste
0.5 tsp Salt and pepper
Directions
- Preheat oven to 190 degrees, and lay the potatoes out on a baking tray. Bake for 1 hour or so, until soft.
- Make a partial cut lengthways on the potatoes and squeeze both sides. Spoon some of the soft insides into a bowl, leaving the skins and some of the flesh as is.
- To the sweet potato you have removed from the skins add the butter, the cream cheese and the mexican seasoning. Add salt and pepper to taste. Mash this with a fork until all combined, and then spoon back into the sweet potato skins.
- In another bowl mix the cooked shredded chicken with some BBQ sauce. Divide evenly between the sweet potatoes and top with grated cheese.
- Bake for a further 15 minutes, including a minute or two under the grill. Serve warm.
