Ingredients 

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes
  • 1 cup shredded chicken, cooked
  • 2 bacon slices, cooked
  • 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 cup jalapeno dip
  • 1 jalapeno, sliced

Instructions 

  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Pierce each sweet potato with a fork and place on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until fork-tender.
  • Once baked, let the sweet potatoes cool for a few minutes. Slice them in half lengthwise and carefully scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl, leaving the skins intact.
  • Mash the sweet potato flesh together with the shredded chicken, diced bacon, cheddar cheese, and creamy jalapeño dip until well combined.
  • Refill each sweet potato skin with the mixture, then top with jalapeño slices. Bake for 15-20 minutes at 400 degrees F, until hot and the cheese is melty and bubbling.
