Ingredients
Scale
Sweet Potatoes
- 4 Large Sweet Potatoes
Chicken Filling
- 4 Cups Cooked Chicken Breast, Diced or Shredded
- 2 Cups Fat Free Cottage Cheese (Blended Smooth)
- 2 Cups Frozen Mixed Vegetables (Corn, Peas, Carrots)
- 3/4 Cup Chicken Broth
- 1 Medium Onion, Diced
- 1 Tsp Garlic Powder
- 1/2 Tsp Dried Thyme
- 1 Tbsp Olive Oil
- Salt and Pepper to Taste
Instructions
- Roast Sweet Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 400°F. Pierce each sweet potato several times with a fork and place them directly on the oven rack. Roast for 45-55 minutes, until they are soft and tender when poked with a fork.
- Prepare Chicken Filling: While the sweet potatoes roast, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add diced onions and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the frozen mixed vegetables and cook for another 5 minutes until tender. Stir in diced chicken, chicken broth, garlic powder, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Simmer the mixture for 5-7 minutes to let the flavors meld. Remove from heat and gently fold in the blended cottage cheese until creamy and well combined.
- Stuff Sweet Potatoes: Remove the roasted sweet potatoes from the oven carefully. Slice each potato lengthwise down the center and fluff the insides lightly with a fork to create space for the filling. Spoon generous amounts of the chicken mixture into each sweet potato, allowing some filling to overflow.
- Serve: Serve the stuffed sweet potatoes hot, optionally garnished with fresh thyme or your favorite herbs for added flavor.
- Enjoy: This recipe yields 4 servings. Each serving is approximately 1 Weight Watchers point.
Notes
- For creamier filling, ensure the cottage cheese is blended smoothly before mixing in.
- Use cooked chicken breast from leftovers or a rotisserie chicken for convenience.
- You can swap frozen vegetables for fresh seasonal veggies if preferred.
- Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to your taste.
- Optional garnishes include fresh thyme, parsley, or chives for extra freshness.
