Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large sweet potatoes
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into strips
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 large bell pepper (any color), sliced
  • 1/2 red onion, sliced
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (for topping)
  • Optional toppings: Greek yogurt or avocado slices

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Pierce the sweet potatoes several times with a fork.
  2. Bake the sweet potatoes for 45 to 60 minutes, or until they are tender when squeezed.
  3. While the potatoes bake, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Add the chicken strips to the skillet. Season with chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside.
  5. Add the sliced bell pepper and red onion to the same skillet. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  6. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Stir to combine and heat through.
  7. Carefully slice each baked sweet potato lengthwise down the center, being careful not to cut all the way through. Gently fluff the inside flesh with a fork.
  8. Divide the chicken fajita mixture evenly among the sweet potatoes, stuffing them generously.
  9. Top with fresh cilantro and any desired toppings like Greek yogurt or avocado. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • You can bake the sweet potatoes ahead of time to speed up dinner preparation.
  • Feel free to add a squeeze of lime juice to the filling for extra brightness, just like Sasha would!
  • Adjust the spice level by adding a pinch of cayenne pepper if you like more heat.
