Equipment

  • skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or cubed
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce your choice of flavor
  • 1 cup shredded cheese cheddar or mozzarella
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat Skillet: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil.
  • Cook Sweet Potatoes: Add the diced sweet potatoes to the skillet. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften.

  • Add Cheese: Remove the lid and sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the chicken and sweet potatoes. Cover again and let it cook for another 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
