Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 400º F.

Place sweet potatoes on baking sheet. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until fork-tender. Cool until sweet potatoes can be handled.

Place sweet potato halves, skin-side up, on baking sheet. Lightly coat with spray. Bake for 15 minutes, or until skins are brown and crisp.
-
Fill each sweet potato half with ¼ cup of chicken mixture. Top evenly with 1 Tbsp. cheese, and bacon. Bake for 5 minutes, or until cheese is melted.
