Delicious Chicken Parmesan Stuffed Sweet Potatoes

In this dish, tender sweet potatoes are baked until soft and then filled with a savory mixture of seasoned chicken, marinara sauce, and melted cheese. This recipe serves 4 and is a delightful twist on traditional chicken recipes.

Ingredients

4 medium sweet potatoes
2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
1 cup marinara sauce
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh basil for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Bake the Sweet Potatoes: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Pierce the sweet potatoes with a fork and place them on a baking sheet. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until tender.
Prepare the Chicken Filling: In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken, marinara sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
Stuff the Sweet Potatoes: Once the sweet potatoes are done, cut them in half lengthwise and scoop out a small portion of the flesh to create space for the filling. Fill each sweet potato half with the chicken mixture.
Add Cheese: Top each stuffed sweet potato with shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese.
Bake Again: Return the stuffed sweet potatoes to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve: Garnish with fresh basil if desired and serve hot.
