As I lost 60lbs on my wellness journey and have sustained this lifestyle for 11 years the one thing I wanted to learn how to do was not to feel hungry or deprived like I had in the past when I tried losing weight, I also wanted to enjoy and savor food while learning how to properly fuel my body without sabotaging how incredible I was feeling from within. So I learned how to make the things I enjoyed with healthier ingredients like this bbq chicken sweet potato pizza. If you loved the bbq chicken stuffed sweet potatoes I shared with you years ago, wait until you try this. Don't worry if you have not tried that recipe yet I included the link to it below. Lets grab the ingredients and make these delicious pizzas!

BBQ Chicken Sweet Potato Pizza:

Large baked organic Sweet Potatoes: ( 1 per serving)
Lillies BBQ Sauce
Thinly sliced red onions
Shred a whole rotisserie chicken (or shred your own chicken) remove the skin
Mozzarella (shred yourself to stay away from unhealthy additives in shredded cheese)
organic cilantro
Maldon Salt
Organic Coconut oil

Preheat oven to 450°F. If you have not baked the sweet potato this is the first step. Bake at 400 for 45-60 minutes in the oven, then bump the oven up to 450. On a parchment lined baking sheet, lay the sliced the sweet potato skin side down. Using any kind of frying pan you have or in my case a heavy skillet, smash each potato half so they look like small round pizza shapes. Peel off the parchment amd frost the top of the sweet potato rounds with a little melted coconut oil followed by a little Maldon salt. Place back in the oven 10 to 15 minutes until the top of the sweet potato begins to crisp. While that is cooking shred your chicken, slice your onions and chop up your cilantro. After you pull them out of the oven you will begin to layer the sweet potato pizzas with barbecue sauce, onions, shredded chicken, and cheese. Place back in the oven for 10 minutes ( maybe a little longer) or until the cheese is bubbly. Sprinkle your chopped cilantro once plated and savor away. I can not wait for you to enjoy these!

Excited to share this GLUTEN FREE BBQ CHICKEN STUFFED SWEET POTATOES WITH COLESLAW RECIPE with you!

Lets just say the family will not think this is boring and was a 10/10 here. There is nothing worse than taking the time to make dinner especially after a long day and no one enjoys it, so my hope is this recipe helps not let the occur.

Okay lets grab all the ingredients we need:

3 large sweet potatoes
5 Organic boneless chicken thighs
1 tbsp of organic olive oil
1 jar of Lillies Carolina Barbecue Sauce (made with all gluten free ingredients)
Salt

Coleslaw Ingredients:

1 bag of organic slaw mix
1/2 Cup gluten free Mayo
2 tbsp of Apple Cider Vinegar
2 tbsp of organic maple syrup
1 teaspoon of celery salt
1 tbsp of organic honey dijon mustard

Lets make everything! Add 3/4 of barbecue sauce to crockpot, then make sure the chicken is covered in it. Let the chicken cook on high in a crockpot for 4 hours or low for 8 hours. Take all the ingredients but the actual slaw and whisk them together, then pour the mixture over the slaw. Let the slaw sit in the fridge for the four hours or make it the night before to help safe dinner prep time. An hour before the chicken will be done, take the sweet potatoes and place them on a cookie sheet. Paint them with olive oil or coconut oil, put 6-7 slits in them and then sprinkle some salt. Add them to an oven thats 400 degrees for 45-60 minutes depending on the size. When those are done, shred the chicken and then stuff the sweet potatoes, add the slaw and enjoy!

I hope both of these healthy dinners are enjoyed by you and your family.
