Goat Cheese Chicken Stuffed Sweet Potato
Ingredients
- ½ tablespoon + 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 2 cups chicken breast cut into cubes
- Salt and pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 1 cup white onions diced
- ½ tablespoon garlic clove minced
- ½ cup yellow bell pepper chopped
- ½ cup red bell pepper chopped
- ¼ cup sun-dried tomato chopped
- 3 cups spinach
- 3 tablespoons goat cheese from Woolwich Dairy
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400° F.
- Rub the skins of the potatoes with ½ tbsp. olive oil.
- Poke them with a fork a few times and place on baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil.
- Bake until tender, about 40-60 minutes (it will depend on the size of the potatoes).
Make the filling:
- While potatoes are cooking, season the chicken with salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper.
- Add 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 5 minutes or until it’s cooked through. Set aside.
- In the same skillet, add onions and cook for five minutes or until onions start to soften. Then, add garlic and cook for one more minute.
- Add bell peppers and sun-dried tomatoes and cook for 5 minutes.
- Add spinach and sauté until it's all wilted and add the cooked chicken.
- Cut the sweet potato in half lengthwise (without cutting them all the way down) and stuff them with the chicken spinach mixture.
- Sprinkle the goat cheese on each sweet potato. Top with fresh parsley. Serve immediately.
Notes
- As we keep the skin on, give the sweet potatoes a good scrub and pat dry before using.
- Pick wide sweet potatoes for this recipe as it's easier to stuff than long, skinny ones.
- Feel free to swap chicken breasts for chicken thighs.
- To store: Store leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 4 days. You can store the stuffing and sweet potatoes together or separately.
- To reheat: Reheat everything in a microwave until hot.
- To freeze: You can freeze the sweet potatoes and goat cheese chicken stuffing together or separately. Freeze in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months.
