Chipotle Chicken Over Sweet Potatoes & Easy Guacamole
SERVES 4PrintDownloadIngredients
- 1-2 sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced lengthwise into 1/2 inch slices
- 2 cups of shredded, cooked chicken. I recommend a rotisserie chicken from your local grocer
- 3/4 cup BBQ sauce
- 2 adobo chilles in the sauce
- 2 Tbsp of water
- 2 avocados
- juice of 1 lime
- 1 Tbsp of minced red onion, optional
- 1 Tbsp of minced cilantro, optional
- 1 small clove of garlic, minced, optional
- olive oil
- salt
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the sweet potato slices on the baking sheet. Brush with a little olive oil and roast for 10-15 minutes in a 400 degree oven. Flip the potatoes and roast for another 10-15 minutes until the sweet potatoes are cooked through and begin to brown on the edges.
- In a bowl, mix together the BBQ sauce, chopped adobo chillies and about 1 tablespoon of the sauce. Add the water if it's too thick. Coat the shredded chicken with the BBQ sauce.
- To make the guacamole, mash up the ripe avocados in a bowl with the lime juice and a sprinkle of salt. I like to stop here because I like super simple guacamole, but you can add red onion, cilantro and garlic to increase the deliciousness if you'd like.
- To serve, top a slice of sweet potato with a scoop of chicken. Add a couple spoonfuls of guacamole. Serve warm.
