    21 Day Fix BBQ Chicken Baked Sweet Potatoes

    21 Day Fix BBQ Chicken Baked Sweet Potatoes
    (recipe from The Beachbody Blog)
     








    Serves: 2 servings, 1 sweet potato and about ¾ cup chicken each

    Ingredients
    2 small sweet potatoes, washed, pierced several times with a fork
    1 1/2 cups shredded cooked chicken breast, boneless, skinless, warm
    1/4 cup barbeque sauce, reduced-sugar, warm
    1/4 cup pickled red onions, chopped (I caramelized mine instead)
    1 tbsp. finely chopped fresh parsley (or cilantro) (for garnish; optional)

    Instructions
    Preheat oven to 400 F
    Place sweet potatoes on a baking sheet. Pierce each sweet potato 3 to 4 times with a fork. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until tender.
    While sweet potato is baking, combine chicken and barbecue cause in a small bowl.  Mix well; set aside.
    Cut sweet potatoes in half lengthwise
    Top sweet potatoes evenly with onion and chicken mixture. Sprinkle evenly with parsley;
    serve immediately


    Tips:
    Look for barbecue sauce that has an ingredient list that does not contain artificial sweeteners, additives, or preservatives. There are many brands on the market that are sweetened with small amounts of honey, maple syrup, or molasses.
    Use healthy BBQ sauce as a homemade alternative to store-bought barbecue sauce.
