Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, and roast on a foil lined baking sheet for about 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and shred in a Kitchen Aid mixer or by using two forks.

For The Sweet Potato Boats:

  • Bake the sweet potatoes directly on the ovenrack at 400° F, for about an hour. Remove from the oven and let cool until you can handle them.

For the filling:

  • Heat a pan over medium-high heat and coat with olive oil. Add the onion and cook but do not fry. Add the garlic and cook a little bit more.
  • Add the shredded chicken and the chicken broth.
  • Add the remaining ingredients and mix. Let simmer for about 10 minutes until the liquid cooks down and the texture is thick and not watery.

To assemble:

  • Slice the potato down the middle and mash until you’ve created a trough. Spoon the chicken filling in the boats and sprinkle with desired toppings.
