Chicken Stuffed Sweet Potatoes
The key is having pre-baked sweet potatoes ready to go. Throw 8-10 in the oven on a baking sheet (after washing and poking with a fork) for 50 minutes and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit. The chicken, being crock-pot friendly, makes it easy to cook ahead of time so all that’s left is the snack assembly.
