Looking for a way to use up leftover bbq? Or maybe a fun new meal prep idea? These bbq chicken stuffed sweet potatoes fit the bill either way.
I love a stuffed potato, but a stuffed sweet potato is next-level delicious, and healthier than the ol' plain potatoes that are stuffed.
I always always always keep sweet potatoes on hand - they stay good for a long time (in case I don't use them as quickly as I expected), and they can be added to pretty much any dish. I add them to curries, mix them in with roasted veggie plates, spiralize them and toss with a little cream sauce, and more. They're also wonderful on their own.
Stuffing is something I hadn't done until recently though. I got the idea when faced with a plethora of rotisserie chicken. A quick toss in barbecue sauce, top with some shredded cheese, and then cook until the cheese melts and everything is heated through.
It's easy. It's delicious. It reheats amazingly.
A stuffed sweet potato isn't a recipe, it's a method
- Fill the cooked potato with any number of "stuffs"
- Top with cheese
- Bake until heated through
- Broil to brown the cheese
- Repeat with any flavors you'd like!
Other stuffed sweet potato ideas:
- Salsa chicken topped with pepper jack
- Fill with Cowboy Caviar and top with avocado (no baking or broiling required!)
- Sliced steak, sautéed onions, gruyere cheese

Recientemente, tuve la oportunidad de visitar Botanica Amarre Amazónico y quedé asombrado por la calidad de sus servicios. Estaba interesado en una lectura del tarot en Chicago IL, y decidí probar aquí. Desde el primer momento, el ambiente fue muy acogedor y el personal demostró un gran conocimiento en lo que hacía. La lectura fue profunda y reveladora, y realmente me ayudó a aclarar algunas dudas que tenía. Sin duda, recomendaría este lugar a cualquiera que busque una guía espiritual.

After a long week of work, I decided it was time to give my house a good going over and opted to hire Quick Cleaning. Your Cleaning Company Chicagoreally did wonders. From the moment they arrived, their professionalism was evident. They took the time to clean every nook and cranny and you could tell they use quality products. My home has never been so clean and fresh.

Last week, we hosted an important event and decided to hire Quick Cleaning to take care of the cleaning before and after the event. I must say that their Event Cleaning Chicago IL service was exceptional. From the first contact, the team showed great professionalism and attention to our needs. On the day of the event, they arrived on time and made sure everything was in perfect condition. After the event, they did an amazing job cleaning and leaving the venue looking like new.
