Impresses: 4

Ingredients
4 medium-sized sweet potatoes
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon kosher salt
¼ cup barbecue sauce
2 cups shredded chicken (from Simply Perfect Roasted Chicken recipe)
1 jalapeño, sliced
¼ cup cilantro, chopped
½ cup queso fresco, crumbled

Method
Heat oven to 400 F.

Poke potatoes all over with a fork and place on baking sheet. Toss with olive oil and salt. Bake until a fork pierces through easily — about 55 minutes.

Add chicken and barbecue sauce to a skillet over medium heat. Warm, stirring constantly, about 10 minutes.

Once potatoes are done baking, make a middle split to open. Stuff each potato with ½ cup chicken mixture and top with jalapeño, cilantro and queso fresco.

Quick Tip

Bake sweet potatoes on Sunday (reduce cook time to 40 minutes if baking with chicken) for quick assembly on Wednesday.
