Delicious stuffed sweet potatoes filled with creamy chicken and vegetables, perfect for a healthy meal!
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup diced carrots
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 cup cooked shredded chicken breast
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
- ½ cup chicken broth (low-sodium)
- ¼ teaspoon dried thyme
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ½ cup turkey ham, chopped (optional)
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
- Bake the Sweet Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly, then prick them with a fork a few times. Place them on a lined baking sheet and bake for 45–50 minutes, or until tender. You should be able to pierce them easily with a fork. Personal Tip: If you’re short on time, you can microwave them for about 8–10 minutes instead — just be sure to flip them halfway through.
- Prepare the Filling: While the sweet potatoes bake, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté diced onions until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add garlic, carrots, and peas, and cook for another 5–6 minutes until the vegetables are tender. Stir in the shredded chicken and turkey ham (if using). Pour in the chicken broth and simmer for 2–3 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and mix in the Greek yogurt, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir until creamy and well combined. Remove from heat.
- Assemble the Stuffed Potatoes: Once your sweet potatoes are baked and cool enough to handle, slice them open lengthwise and gently mash the insides with a fork, creating a little space for the filling. Generously spoon the creamy chicken pot pie filling into each potato. Sprinkle with fresh parsley for a pop of color and flavor.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve warm. Pair with a crisp side salad or steamed greens for a balanced meal.
Notes
- Consider adding more vegetables or spices to customize the filling.
- For a vegetarian option, substitute chicken with beans or lentils.
