Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded (about 2 large breasts)
- 1 ripe avocado, diced
- 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 small jalapeño, seeded and minced (optional)
- 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt
- Juice of 1 lime

- Lime wedges (optional)
- Extra cilantro leaves (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Scrub the sweet potatoes and pierce each several times with a fork. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 40–50 minutes, or until fork-tender.
- In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, diced avocado, red onion, cilantro, jalapeño (if using), Greek yogurt, lime juice, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Gently toss to mix without mashing the avocado too much.
- Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and let cool slightly.
- Slice each sweet potato lengthwise, being careful not to cut all the way through. Gently fluff the insides with a fork.
- Spoon the chicken and avocado mixture into each sweet potato.
- Top with crumbled feta, extra cilantro, and serve with lime wedges if desired.
Notes
