Equipment

  • Frying pan
  • Baking pan
  • Parchment paper
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Electric mixer

Ingredients

For the sweet potatoes

  • 1-2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breast (preferably organic/pasture-raised)
  • 4 medium-sized sweet potatoes
  • 1 small red onion
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon avocado or olive oil
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce (preferably sugar free)

For the slaw

  • 1 16 oz bag of slaw
  • 3-4 tablespoons mayonnaise (heaping tablespoons)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 8 grinds of black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • Tip: No mayo? No problem! Use olive oil instead

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F and line your baking pan with parchment paper. Align your 4 sweet potatoes on the pan and pierce some holes in each potato using a fork. Place them in the oven for 1 hour.
  2. While the potatoes are baking, heat a frying pan with your avocado or olive oil.
  3. Season your defrosted chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and paprika.
  4. Fry the breast on each side (covered) for about 5 minutes.
  5. Set aside to cool and make your slaw.
  6. In a medium-sized bowl mix your mayonnaise, salt, pepper, and balsamic vinegar. Allow the mixture to marinate for 20 minutes, it will taste better this way!
  7. To shred your chicken breast, you can use two forks or an electric mixture (which works wonders).
  8. In a bowl add your shredded chicken, bbq sauce, and red onion. Mix well.
  9. When the sweet potatoes are done, cut them down the middle and add your stuffing. Place them back in the oven for 5 minutes to warm everything together.
  10. Once they are done, top them with more bbq sauce, red onion, and cilantro, and enjoy!
  11. Storage: these can be stored in an airtight container for 4 days in your refrigerator.
