This stuffed sweet potato with ground beef recipe was a big hit but I wanted to provide an alternative since many of my readers don’t like beef, or maybe they don’t eat it for any reason. So, for this recipe, I decided to change up many of our ingredients, with the meaty star of the dish switching to chicken.

Serve this tasty dish with Oven Baked Skin On Fries, Quick Crispy Air Fryer Carrot Chips or Quick Persian Shirazi Salad.

Tips and Substitutions

Guacamole: Is an essential part of this delicious potato-stuffed recipe, and if you’re anything like me, you will become #OBSESSED with it! It’s hard not to make too much Simple Guacamole, especially when you can use the leftovers for so many other yummy dishes and sides.

But there’s just one problem...guacamole turns brown when exposed to air. This makes it seem like it goes bad quickly, so what can be done to keep it green for longer?

Here are a couple of tips that might help prolong its storage in your fridge:

• Plastic
  wrap is your friend. Cover the guac with it completely so no air can get in,
  and it will stay green for longer.
• Add
  a couple of drops of lemon juice on top and then cover it with plastic wrap.
  You can use this same trick to keep apples from browning too!
• Get
  an air-tight storage container and make sure the lid is secure before putting
  it in the fridge.

This might help you keep your guac for a few days longer so you can enjoy it all throughout the week.

How to Make Chicken-Stuffed Sweet Potatoes

1. Preheat your oven to 200 degrees Celsius (or 180C fan/Gas 6). While the oven is heating, season 1-2 full chicken fillets with salt, pepper, and any other herbs to taste.
2. Place chicken in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until it is cooked all the way through. Meanwhile, give 5-7 sweet potatoes a good wash and add them to the oven, baking them for 10-12 minutes.
3. Remove chicken from the oven and shred it with a fork. Add the shredded chicken to a large bowl with ½ cup of sweetcorn, 2-5 tablespoon of mayonnaise, and salt and pepper to taste. Then, mash a whole avocado and mix it with your favorite spices until you have a smooth guacamole.
4. Slice the sweet potatoes in half so there’s room to add the rest of the ingredients. Stuff the chicken and all of the other ingredients from the bowl to the center of the sweet potato. Top with your homemade guacamole and top with sour cream if you want. Then, enjoy!

Optional: Add a few handfuls of spinach for extra nutrition!
