Ingredients
  

For the Sweet Potatoes
  • 4 large sweet potatoes choose firm, evenly shaped ones
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil for rubbing on skins
For the Chicken Filling
  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast shredded or diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 onion finely chopped
For the Veggie Mix
  • 1 cup bell peppers diced
  • 1 cup zucchini diced small
  • 2 cups baby spinach
For Seasoning & Garnish
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley chopped

Equipment

  • Oven
  • baking sheet
  • skillet

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat oven to 400°F, scrub sweet potatoes until clean, pat dry, then rub skins with olive oil. Place evenly on a baking sheet.
  2. Roast sweet potatoes for about 45 minutes, or until flesh is tender when pierced with a fork, and skins become slightly crisp and golden brown.
Chicken Filling
  1. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat, add onion and garlic, cook until translucent and fragrant, stirring occasionally for about 2–3 minutes.
  2. Stir in cooked chicken; season with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika, then cook, stirring well, until just heated through, about 3 minutes.
Veggie Mix
  1. Add bell peppers and zucchini to the skillet, sauté until bright in color and tender-crisp, stirring occasionally for about 4 minutes over medium-high heat.
  2. Stir in baby spinach and cook just until wilted, about 1–2 minutes, keeping the mix vibrant and slightly juicy, then remove from heat.
Assembly
  1. Carefully slice each sweet potato lengthwise, fluff inner flesh with a fork, then generously spoon chicken-veggie mixture into cavities, pressing gently to compact.
  2. Sprinkle chopped parsley over stuffed potatoes and serve warm, optionally drizzle a little olive oil for richness.
