Curried Chicken Stuffed Sweet Potatoes transform a carby potato to a protein powerhouse full of flavor!

Curried Chicken Stuffed Sweet Potatoes

Now that I'm tracking macros again, my creative juices are flowing. There is nothing I enjoy more than playing a personal game of Chopped in my kitchen with the goal of a balanced, nutritious meal.

I made these Curried Chicken Stuffed Sweet Potatoes for breakfast a little while ago (yes, I know, I'm weird) after my run. I had some time before my first conference call and defrosted chicken for dinner tonight. So, I decided to have a little fun.

The result was yummy! They were filling, and I was planning on saving half for tomorrow, but it was so good I needed up eating it about an hour later.

I think there are worst things I could have decided to snack on. 😉

Curried Chicken Stuffed Sweet Potatoes transform a carby potato to a protein powerhouse full of flavor!

Ingredients

  • 1 sweet potato (~270g)
  • 1 raw chicken breast (~200g)
  • 1 tsp curry powder
  • 1 tsp oil
  • 2 scallions
  • 1 oz cheddar cheese, grated

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.

Pierce the sweet potato with a fork and microwave for about 5-minutes or until soft.

While the potato is cooking, cut the chicken breast into small bite-sized pieces and coat with curry powder. Set aside.

Shop the scallions separating the white and green parts. Set aside.

Heat a small skillet over medium-high heat and add the oil. Saute the chicken and scallion whites in the skillet until cooked through, about 3 minutes.

Remove the cooked chicken and scallions from the heat and place in a bowl.

Cut the cooked sweet potato in halve. Scoop out the flesh of the potatoes, leaving the skin "boats." Add the flesh to the bowl with the chicken.

Combine the chicken and sweet potato flesh. Then stuff it back into the potato skin "boats." Top with the cheddar. Bake for 5 minutes until cheese melts.

Top with the scallion greens and enjoy!

Notes

  • I used a spicy cheddar cheese just to give it more of a kick.
  • If you don't have a scallion, a slice of onion would be fine. Then just sprinkle some dried chives or parsley on top for the pretty effect.
  • I made this recipe two servings, but I liked the first one so much I ended up eating the other half just an hour later.
