Ingredients
  

4 medium sweet potatoes

2 cups cooked shredded chicken

1 cup BBQ sauce (your favorite brand)

1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed

1 cup corn (fresh, frozen, or canned)

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt or sour cream

2 green onions, sliced

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Bake the Sweet Potatoes: Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly and pierce them with a fork several times. Place them on a baking sheet and bake for about 45-60 minutes, or until soft when pierced with a knife.

      Prepare the BBQ Chicken Filling: While the sweet potatoes are baking, mix the shredded chicken with 1 cup of BBQ sauce in a medium bowl. Stir until the chicken is well coated.

        Combine Additional Ingredients: In the same bowl, fold in the black beans and corn. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.

          Assemble the Stuffed Sweet Potatoes: Once the sweet potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Slice each sweet potato in half lengthwise, and carefully scoop out a little of the flesh to create space for the filling, leaving the skin intact.

            Fill the Sweet Potatoes: Spoon the BBQ chicken mixture generously into each sweet potato half. Top each with a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese.

              Melt the Cheese: Return the stuffed sweet potatoes to the oven for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

                Garnish and Serve: Remove the stuffed sweet potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly. Drizzle with Greek yogurt or sour cream, and sprinkle with sliced green onions and fresh cilantro, if desired.

                  Enjoy: Serve warm and enjoy your flavorful BBQ Chicken Stuffed Sweet Potatoes!
