Ingredients
4
large sweet potatoes
1 tbsp (15 mL)
vegetable oil
1/4 tsp (1.25 mL)
salt
1/4 cup (60 mL)
ranch dressing
1/4 cup (60 mL)
sour cream
2 cups (500 mL)
cooked shredded chicken
1/2 cup (125 mL)
BBQ sauce
1 cup (250 mL)
shredded Monterrey Jack Cheddar
1/4 cup (60 mL)
chopped chives
1/4 cup (60 mL)
sliced jalapenos
Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Scrub the potatoes to remove all dirt and then rinse and dry thoroughly. Poke several holes into each potato with a fork and then place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Rub the potatoes with oil and generously sprinkle each potato with salt. Bake in the oven for one hour or until tender.
2
In a small bowl whisk together ranch dressing and sour cream, set aside for later use.
3
Ten minutes before the potatoes are finished baking, in a medium-sized saucepan mix together cooked shredded chicken and BBQ sauce. Cook over medium heat for 5 minutes or until warmed through.
4
When the potatoes are finished, remove from the oven and slice each one down the center and fluff with a fork. Top each potato evenly with the barbecue chicken, cheddar, jalapenos and chives. Drizzle with the ranch-sour cream.
