I have totally been MIA but summer is busy! My main focus has been my kids and my challengers, so the blog has definitely seen better days but I did want to share a new recipe with you all that was SUPER simple and yummy!! Next time I make this, I want to top it with a slaw of some sort! I love an extra crunch in my food!
Serves: 2 servings, 1 sweet potato and about ¾ cup chicken each
Ingredients
- 2 small sweet potatoes, washed, pierced several times with a fork
- 1½ cups shredded cooked chicken breast, boneless, skinless, warm (I cheated and used a rotisseree chicken & peeled off the skin)
- ¼ cup barbecue sauce (they always call for reduced sugar, I can't find one, so I use Trader Joe's or you can make your own)
- ¼ cup Quick Pickled Red Onions (or 2 Tbsp. chopped red onions) (optional, I skipped this step)
Instructions
- Place sweet potatoes on a plate. Pierce each sweet potato 3 to 4 times with a fork. Microwave 4-6 minutes or until tender.
- While sweet potato is cooking, combine chicken and barbecue sauce in a small bowl; mix well. Set aside.
- Cut sweet potatoes in half lengthwise.
- Top sweet potatoes evenly Quick Pickled Red Onions and chicken mixture. Serve and enjoy!
Tips:
- Look for barbecue sauce that has an ingredient list that does not contain artificial sweeteners, additives, or preservatives. There are many brands on the market that are sweetened with small amounts of honey, maple syrup, or molasses.
- Use Healthy Barbecue Sauce as a homemade alternative to store-bought barbecue sauce.
