# Components:
→ Sweet Potatoes
01 - 4 medium sweet potatoes, scrubbed
02 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
03 - 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
→ Chicken Filling
04 - 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
05 - 1/2 cup honey BBQ sauce, gluten-free
06 - 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
07 - 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
→ Toppings
08 - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
09 - 1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions
10 - 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
# Directions:
01 - Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Rub each sweet potato with olive oil and sprinkle with kosher salt. Pierce potatoes multiple times with a fork to allow steam escape.

04 - While potatoes roast, combine shredded chicken breast, honey BBQ sauce, smoked paprika, and garlic powder in a mixing bowl. Stir until thoroughly combined.
05 - Allow roasted sweet potatoes to cool until handleable. Slice each lengthwise and carefully scoop out interior flesh, maintaining approximately 1/4-inch border along skin.
06 - Add scooped sweet potato flesh to BBQ chicken mixture and stir to combine evenly.
07 - Distribute BBQ chicken mixture evenly among potato boats. Top each with shredded cheddar cheese.
08 - Return stuffed sweet potatoes to oven and bake for 5 to 7 minutes until cheese melts completely.
09 - Remove from oven and garnish each potato with green onions and fresh cilantro. Serve immediately.
