Mexican Sweet Potatoes

A flavor-packed, protein-rich meal that’s perfect for batch cooking and busy days.

Ingredients

  • 4 medium sweet potatoes

  • 1–1.5 lbs chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)

  • ½ cup chicken broth

  • 1 jar (12–16 oz) salsa (your favorite!)

  • 1 tsp cumin

  • 1 tsp garlic powder (or 1 clove minced)

  • Salt & pepper to taste

  • Fresh pico de gallo

  • Avocado crema* (or avocado ranch, or just plain avocado slices)

Instructions

  1. Crockpot Chicken

    • In your slow cooker, add chicken breasts, chicken broth, salsa, cumin, garlic, salt, and pepper.

    • Cover and cook on low for 4–6 hours or until chicken is fork-tender.

    • Shred the chicken in the crockpot to soak up all the flavor.

  2. Prepare the Sweet Potatoes

    • Bake at 400°F for 45–60 minutes until soft, or microwave for 8–10 minutes (prick with a fork first).

    • Slice each sweet potato in half lengthwise.

  3. Assemble

    • Fill each sweet potato half with a generous portion of shredded chicken.

    • Top with fresh pico de gallo and a drizzle of avocado crema (or your avocado topping of choice).

Notes

  • Store components separately for meal prep, or assemble and reheat for a grab-and-go lunch.

  • Avocado crema idea: Blend avocado, lime juice, garlic, and a little Greek yogurt or sour cream until smooth.
