Step-by-Step Instructions for BBQ Chicken Stuffed Sweet Potatoes
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash the sweet potatoes and poke holes in each with a fork. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  2. Bake the sweet potatoes for about 60 minutes, or until fork-tender and caramelized.
  3. Heat avocado oil in a sauté pan over medium heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, then add to the pan. Cook for 5 minutes, until golden brown.
  4. Add chicken broth and cover the pan. Simmer for 7-10 minutes until fully cooked, ensuring the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  5. Shred the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces using two forks or a stand mixer.
  6. In a bowl, mix the shredded chicken with BBQ sauce until fully coated.
  7. Slice each baked sweet potato in half lengthwise and scoop out some flesh. Stuff with BBQ chicken mixture.
  8. Top each stuffed sweet potato with sliced red onion and cilantro.
