Ingredients
  

2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes

2 cups cooked and shredded chicken (preferably shredded rotisserie chicken)

1 cup BBQ sauce (your choice of brand or homemade)

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

¼ cup green onions, thinly sliced (for garnish)

Optional: crumbled feta cheese or shredded cheese for topping

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

    Prepare Sweet Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato cubes with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.

      Roast Sweet Potatoes: Spread the seasoned sweet potato cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until they are fork-tender and slightly crispy, tossing halfway through for even cooking.

        Combine Chicken and BBQ Sauce: While the sweet potatoes are roasting, combine the shredded chicken with the BBQ sauce in a medium bowl. Mix thoroughly so all the chicken is coated.

          Assemble Bites: Once the sweet potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. On each sweet potato cube, add a generous spoonful of the BBQ chicken mixture, pressing down gently to adhere.

            Add Cheese (Optional): If using cheese, sprinkle feta or shredded cheese over the BBQ chicken bites.

              Final Bake: Return the assembled sweet potato bites to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the cheese to melt.

                Garnish and Serve: Remove the bites from the oven, let them cool briefly, then sprinkle with sliced green onions for a pop of color and freshness. Serve warm as an appetizer or main dish.
