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
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.
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.
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.
