Chicken and Mozzarella Stuffed Sweet Potato

Ingredients

• 1 Small sweet potato (Washed, slit lengthwise, and pierced with a fork)
• 1 tsp Olive oil (For coating the sweet potato and cooking the chicken; the recipe indicates using a small amount)
• 100 g Chicken breast (Cut into small pieces or sliced)
• 4 tbsp Crushed tomatoes or tomato sauce
• Garlic powder (To taste)
• Onion powder (To taste)
• Salt (To taste)
• Black pepper (To taste)
• 30 g Mozzarella (For covering the sweet potato; the amount is not specified in the source and has been estimated)
• 30 g Avocado (Optional, for serving)
• 1 tbsp Chives (Chopped; optional, for serving)

Steps

1. 1

   Wash and dry the sweet potato. Make a lengthwise cut from one end to the other without cutting all the way through, and pierce it several times with a fork.

2. 2

   Coat the surface of the sweet potato with a little olive oil.

3. 3

   Cook the sweet potato in the air fryer at 180 °C for approximately 35 minutes, until tender when pierced. Alternatively, bake it in a preheated oven at 180 °C, using top and bottom heat, for 45 minutes.

4. 4

   While the sweet potato is cooking, heat a skillet over medium heat and add a little olive oil.

5. 5

   Add the chicken breast and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Brown the chicken, stirring occasionally, until cooked through and browned on the outside.

6. 6

   Add the tomatoes and cook for a couple more minutes, until the filling is hot and slightly reduced.

7. 7

   When the sweet potato is tender, carefully open it along the cut. Lightly mash the inner flesh with a fork without breaking the skin.

8. 8

   Stuff the sweet potato with the chicken and tomato mixture.

9. 9

   Cover the filling with the mozzarella.

10. 10

    Return the sweet potato to the air fryer and cook at 200 °C for 3 minutes, until the mozzarella has melted.

11. 11

    Serve immediately with a little avocado and chopped chives, if desired.
