Time 20m

Yield 1 serving (1 stuffed potato)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 medium sweet potato, pierced all over with a fork
1/4 cup shredded skinless cooked chicken breast (rotisserie or leftover)
3 tablespoons shredded mild Cheddar
Kosher salt
1/2 small avocado
1 tablespoon salsa verde
1 scallion, sliced

Steps:

  • Microwave the sweet potato on high until tender (when you squeeze it with a clean dish towel, it should feel really soft), about 5 minutes. Let sit for a few minutes.
  • Cut the potato in half but not all the way through. Using the dish towel to hold the potato in place, scoop out the flesh into a small bowl. Add the chicken, Cheddar and a pinch salt and mash everything together with a fork. Fill the potato skin with the mixture.
  • Cut the avocado into small pieces. Drizzle the stuffed potato with the salsa verde and top with the avocado and scallion.
