Directions:
Southwest Chicken Sweet Potato Skins
Ingredients:
- 3 medium-large sweet potatoes
- 2 chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon Southwest seasoning
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- Salt and pepper
- 2 cups spinach
- Honey
- 2 cups cheddar cheese (shredded)
- Plain Greek yogurt for serving
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Wash the sweet potatoes and prick all over with a fork.
- Lightly spray baking dish and sweet potato with olive oil.
- Place in oven and bake for 50 - 60 minutes (until tender).
- Lightly sprinkle olive oil, salt, and pepper on the chicken.
- When potatoes are about halfway done, place chicken in its own baking dish in the oven for 25 minutes or until fully cooked.
- While chicken is cooking, mix olive oil, lime juice, garlic, Southwest seasoning, cumin, and chili pepper in a bowl and set aside.
- Heat a medium skillet over medium heat with a little olive oil and sauté spinach until wilted.
- Once chicken is cooked, shred and combine with spinach and turn to low heat.
- Once the potatoes are cooked, take out and turn oven up to 400 degrees.
- While oven is re-heating, cut each potato in half and scoop out the insides - leaving a little left inside the skin.
- Drizzle with honey and lightly coat the inside of the potato with the seasoning mixture and put back in the oven for about 5-10 minutes.
- Chop the leftover inside part of the potatoes and add to the chicken/spinach mixture.
- Mix the remaining seasoning mixture with the chicken/spinach/sweet potato mixture.
- After 5-10 minutes of the potatoes cooking, take out and add chicken mixture to the inside of each potato. Sprinkle cheese over the top of each one.
- Cook for another 5-10 minutes until cheese is melted and skins are crispy.
- Serve with Greek yogurt.
