Cheesy Salsa Chicken Stuffed Sweet Potatoes Recipes

HEALTHY CHICKEN-AND-CHEESE-STUFFED SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Microwave the sweet potato on high until tender (when you squeeze it with a clean dish towel, it should feel really soft), about 5 minutes. Let sit for a few minutes.
• Cut the potato in half but not all the way through. Using the dish towel to hold the potato in place, scoop out the flesh into a small bowl. Add the chicken, Cheddar and a pinch salt and mash everything together with a fork. Fill the potato skin with the mixture.
• Cut the avocado into small pieces. Drizzle the stuffed potato with the salsa verde and top with the avocado and scallion.

EASY CHEESY SALSA POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Grease 13x9-inch (3-quart) baking dish or pan. In large bowl, mix cheese, salsa, onion, sour cream, soup and pepper. Add potatoes; mix well. Spread in baking dish.
• In small bowl, mix bread crumbs and melted butter. Sprinkle over potatoes.
• Bake 45 to 60 minutes or until cheese is melted and potatoes are tender.

CHEESE-STUFFED SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Scrub potatoes, prick lightly with a fork and microwave for six minutes, or until done. (Or, bake in oven at 400 degrees F for one hour or until done.) When cool enough to handle, cut the potatoes lengthwise and scoop out the insides into a small mixing bowl. Set aside potato skins.
• Mash the cooked potatoes with the three cheeses and salt and pepper. Distribute the potato mixture evenly among the potato shells. Top each with the sliced green onion and sprinkle paprika on top.
• Return potatoes to the microwave (one minute on high) or oven (10 to 15 minutes at 350 degrees F) or until hot. Wrap or store in a portable container to bring to work or the gym; microwave on high for 1 1/2 to two minutes on high before eating.
