Step-by-Step Instructions for BBQ Chicken Stuffed Sweet Potatoes
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C) to prepare for baking. Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes under running water. Poke holes in each potato, arrange on a baking sheet, and roast evenly.
  2. Bake the sweet potatoes in the preheated oven for approximately 60 minutes until the skin is crispy and they yield to a gentle squeeze.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons of avocado oil in a sauté pan over medium heat. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then cook until golden-brown on both sides.
  4. Add 1 cup of chicken broth to the pan and cover. Reduce heat to medium-low, simmer for 7 to 10 minutes, or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
  5. Remove chicken and shred into bite-sized pieces using forks or a stand mixer.
  6. In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken with 1 cup of BBQ sauce, mixing well.
  7. Slice each baked sweet potato in half lengthwise and scoop out some flesh to create space. Stuff with the BBQ chicken mixture.
  8. Chop the red onion and sprinkle atop the filling. Garnish with cilantro and serve warm.
