Weights are estimates. Together, the ingredients weigh about 420 g before cooking, which is about 420 g per serving.
Steps
Heat the oven to 425°F (220 °C) (220°C (425 °F)). Line a baking sheet with parchment or lightly oil it.
Scrub the sweet potato and halve it lengthwise. Rub the cut surface lightly with olive oil, then season with salt and black pepper.
Place the sweet-potato halves cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for about 40–50 minutes, until the skin is tender, the cut surface is deeply caramelized, and a knife slides easily through the center.
While the sweet potato bakes, prepare the chicken by shredding or dicing it. Warm it briefly if it is chilled.
Turn the baked sweet potato cut-side up and gently fluff the flesh with a fork, leaving the skin intact.
Add the chicken, Greek yogurt, shredded cheddar, and sliced green onion on top. Season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Serve immediately while the sweet potato is hot and the edges are crisp.
Notes
The supplied Instagram description only states that a sweet potato is baked face down until caramelized and then loaded; it does not provide quantities, toppings, oven temperature, or timing. Chicken, Greek yogurt, cheddar, and green onion are inferred additions rather than verified source ingredients. For a vegetarian version, replace the chicken with black beans or lentils.
