Ingredients
  

  • 4 Large Sweet Potatoes
  • 4 cups Cooked Chicken Breast diced or shredded
  • 2 cups Fat Free Cottage Cheese blended until smooth
  • 2 cups Frozen Mixed Vegetables corn, peas, carrots
  • 3/4 cup Chicken Broth low-sodium preferred
  • 1 Medium Onion diced
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Dried Thyme
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • Salt and Black Pepper to taste

Equipment

  • oven
  • large skillet
  • fork
  • blender
  • Cutting board and knife

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F. Pierce each sweet potato 6-8 times with a fork and place them directly on the middle oven rack. Roast for 45-55 minutes, until soft and tender when poked with a fork.
  2. While the sweet potatoes roast, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onions and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add frozen mixed vegetables to the skillet and sauté for about 5 minutes, until tender and any moisture has evaporated.
  4. Stir in diced chicken breast, chicken broth, garlic powder, thyme, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, letting flavors blend and liquid reduce slightly.
  5. Remove the skillet from heat and gently stir in the blended cottage cheese until creamy and well combined.
  6. When sweet potatoes are finished roasting, carefully remove them from the oven using oven mitts. Slice each potato lengthwise down the center and fluff the insides gently with a fork to create space for filling.
  7. Spoon generous amounts of the chicken filling into each potato, allowing the filling to overflow slightly. Serve hot, garnished with fresh thyme or your favorite herbs.

Notes

For meal prep, store roasted potatoes and filling separately in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat filling before stuffing. Can be frozen individually wrapped for up to 2 months. Ensure cottage cheese is blended completely smooth for best texture.
