Ingredients
- Sweet Potato cooked
- Salt Pepper, Nutmeg
- Butter
- Shredded Chicken
- BBQ Sauce
- Cheddar Cheese shredded
- Sour Cream
- Green Onions or Chives
Instructions
- Bake (45 minutes) or microwave (5 minutes) a sweet potato until tender. Let cool before cutting. Lay the potato down longways and cut the top piece of skin off and start to mash the potato with a fork. Add butter, salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg and mash until the potato is creamy. Try not to break apart the skin.
- Shred a cooked chicken breast with a fork and add to a hot saute pan. When hot add BBQ sauce. I added about 2 TBS of sauce for one shredded chicken breast.
- Mash down the potato to make room for this chicken, and load the bad boy up!! Add cheese on top and either bake for 10 minutes, or broil for 5 minutes.
- Top with sour cream, green onions/chives, and some more shredded cheddar. Enjoy!

Notes
This was so delicious, and a great way to get my BBQ fix without eating too unhealthy. The BBQ sauce I used was kind of sweet, which went great with the nutmeg in the sweet potato. And I don't need to explain how delicious sour cream, cheese and green onions are with a loaded baked potato either!
